|a Sea level observations suggest that the rate of sea level rise
has accelerated during the last 20 years. However, the presence of
considerable decadal-scale variability, especially on a regional
scale, makes it difficult to assess whether the observed changes
are due to natural or anthropogenic causes. Here we use a
regression model with atmospheric pressure, wind, and climate
indices as independent variables to quantify the contribution of
internal climate variability to the sea level at nine tide gauges
from around the world for the period 1920–2011. Removing
this contribution reveals a statistically significant acceleration
(0.022 ± 0.015 mm/yr2) between 1952 and 2011, which is
unique over the whole period. Furthermore, we have found that
the acceleration is increasing over time. This acceleration
appears to be the result of increasing greenhouse gas
concentrations, along with changes in volcanic forcing and
tropospheric aerosol loading. |
