|a Present-day sea-level rise is a major indicator of climate
change. Since the early 1990s, sea level rose at a mean rate
of [approximately]3.1mmyr-1 (refs 2,3). However, over the last decade a
slowdown of this rate, of about 30%, has been recorded. It
coincides with a plateau in Earth’s mean surface temperature
evolution, known as the recent pause in warming. Here we
present an analysis based on sea-level data from the altimetry
record of the past[approximately]20 years that separates interannual natural
variability in sea level from the longer-term change probably
related to anthropogenic global warming. The most prominent
signature in the global mean sea level interannual variability
is caused by El Niño–Southern Oscillation, through its impact
on the global water cycle. We find that when correcting
for interannual variability, the past decade’s slowdown of the
global mean sea level disappears, leading to a similar rate of
sea-level rise (of 3.3 [plus or minus]0.4mmyr-1) during the first and second
decade of the altimetry era. Our results confirm the need for
quantifying and further removing from the climate records the
short-term natural climate variability if one wants to extract
the global warming signal. |
