|a In a recent article, Houston and Dean (2011) attempted to
quantify acceleration in the rate of historical sea-level rise
(SLR) by analyzing monthly averaged, long-term, tide-gauge
records for 57 U.S. tide stations. The data were extracted from
the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) at the
National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool, U.K. The investigation
involved the calculation of accelerations for each
station for the period of record, plus accelerations for the 25
stations whose records extended back to 1930. The authors
calculated decelerations, i.e., a slowing in the rate of SLR, for 16
of the 25 selected long-term gauge records. The authors stated
that there is no evidence of acceleration in 20th century SLR,
despite rising atmospheric temperatures. Therefore, they
contended the accelerations forecasted to accompany continued
warming are highly suspect. They concluded that researchers
must now determine why global warming has not produced an
acceleration in SLR. We believe the authors’ conclusions are
erroneous for a variety of reasons, including those argued in the
accompanying rebuttals. We will focus our criticism on three
issues in the sections that follow. |
