|a There is observational evidence that global sea level is rising and there is concern that the
rate of rise will increase, significantly threatening coastal communities. However, considerable
debate remains as to whether the rate of sea level rise is currently increasing and, if so, by
how much. Here we provide new insights into sea level accelerations by applying the main
methods that have been used previously to search for accelerations in historical data, to
identify the timings (with uncertainties) at which accelerations might first be recognized in a
statistically significant manner (if not apparent already) in sea level records that we have
artificially extended to 2100. We find that the most important approach to earliest possible
detection of a significant sea level acceleration lies in improved understanding (and
subsequent removal) of interannual to multidecadal variability in sea level records. |
