PC14A:
Causes of Contemporary Sea Level Variability and Change from Global to Coastal Scales II Posters


Session ID#: 27675

Session Description:
Quantitative understanding of the causes of sea level variability and change is important for the development of improved sea level projections and forecasts and assessment of related coastal impacts. This session seeks modeling and data analyses that address causes of sea level variability and change on timescales of months to centuries, at the local, regional and global levels. Of particular interest are studies that advance understanding of the connections between the large-scale ocean circulation and coastal sea level, including how climate modes of variability project onto the coastal zone. Other topics of interest include the mass and steric contributions to sea level budgets and their underlying forcing mechanisms and dynamics involving air-sea-ice interactions, and the attribution of regional sea level change to natural and anthropogenic causes.
