|a Sea level data from the Chesapeake Bay are used to test a
novel new analysis method for studies of sea level rise (SLR).
The method, based on Empirical Mode Decomposition and
Hilbert-Huang Transformation, separates the sea level trend
from other oscillating modes and reveals how the mean sea
level changes over time. Bootstrap calculations test the
robustness of the method and provide confidence levels.
The analysis shows that rates of SLR have increased from
[plus or minus]1–3 mm y-1 in the 1930s to [plus or minus]4–10 mm y-1 in 2011,
an acceleration of [plus or minus]0.05–0.10 mm y-2 that is larger than
most previous studies, but comparable to recent findings
by Sallenger and collaborators. While land subsidence
increases SLR rates in the bay relative to global SLR, the
acceleration results support Sallenger et al.’s proposition
that an additional contribution to SLR from climatic changes
in ocean circulation is affecting the region. |
