Pattern of relative sea level (RSL) rates, 2000–2018, estimated by the Bayesian hierarchical model (BHM). a) Total RSL including inverse barometer (IB) effect, and contributions from: b) Sterodynamic changes, c) Gravitational, rotational, deformation effects, and d) Glacial isostatic adjustment, with e) The contribution from the IB effect (computed outside the BHM).
Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) have discovered a substantial rise in sea-levels in the Mediterranean Sea, using a vital new method to measure changes in sea-level. The study, published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, demonstrated that sea levels in the…
