Global sea-level budget 1993 - present

Anny Cazenave, +89 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present estimates of the altimetry-based global mean sea level (average variance of 3.1 +/- 0.3 mm/yr and acceleration of 0.1 mm/r2 over 1993-present), as well as of the different components of the sea level budget over 2005-present, using GRACE-based ocean mass estimates.

An imperative to monitor Earth's energy imbalance

TL;DR: The current Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) is mostly caused by human activity and is driving global warming as mentioned in this paper, and the absolute value of EEI represents the most fundamental metric defining the status of global climate change, and will be more useful than using global surface temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

The rate of sea-level rise

TL;DR: In this article, the authors 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-levelrise(of 3.3 0.4mmyr 1 ) during the first and second decade of the altimetry era.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sea level variations at tropical Pacific islands since 1950

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the total rate of sea level change at selected individual islands, as a result of climate variability and change, plus vertical ground motion where available, and reconstruct a global sea level field from 1950 to 2009, combining long (over 1950-2009) good quality tide gauge records with 50-year-long gridded sea surface heights from the Ocean General Circulation Model DRAKKAR.
