Wind effects on estimates of sea level rise Open
[1] Variability in sea level at the longest periods observable in modern records has recently been found to be well correlated with local atmospheric pressure. At shorter periods, however, longshore winds are known to be one of the primary…
Spatial variability of late Holocene and 20th century sea-level rise along the Atlantic coast of the United States Open
Research Article| December 01, 2009 Spatial variability of late Holocene and 20th century sea-level rise along the Atlantic coast of the United States Simon E. Engelhart; Simon E. Engelhart * 1Department of Earth and Environmental Science,…
Gyre‐scale atmospheric pressure variations and their relation to 19th and 20th century sea level rise Open
Most of the long tide gauge records in the North Atlantic and North Pacific commonly used to estimate global sea level rise and acceleration display a marked difference in behavior in the late 1800's – early 1900's compared to the latter h…
Questioning the Rules in Coastal Erosion Open
Douglas, Leatherman, and Zhang reply: Our paper investigated how increasing sea level will-exacerbate the long-term sandy beach erosion that affects nearly 90% of the US coastline. 1 1. K. Zhang, B. C. Douglas, S. P. Leatherman, Climatic C…
The Puzzle of Global Sea-Level Rise Open
Measuring the rate of sea level rise over the past century requires modeling the behavior of Earth’s crust over the past 20 000 years.
Reply [to “Comment on ‘Sea level rise shown to drive coastal erosion’”] Open
We pointed out in our paper that the two‐dimensional Bruun model of beach erosion is controversial; the intensity of the controversy is amply illustrated by the responses printed in this Forum section of Eos . For example, at one end of th…
Twentieth-Century Storm Activity along the U.S. East Coast Open
It has been speculated that future global warming will change the frequency and severity of tropical and extratropical storms. The U.S. east coast is heavily impacted by such storms, so it is important to determine their natural temporal v…
Global sea level change: Determination and interpretation Open
The notion of sea level rise brings to the popular mind the specter of deep inundation of coastal regions. One pictures skyscrapers emerging from the waters like so many sleeping flamingos standing in the shallows of a lake. Of course if a…
Mesoscale Variability between New York and Bermuda from Repeated XBT Sections and Satellite Altimetry Open
Over a five-year period, 119 XBT sections were made along essentially the same tracks between New York and Bermuda. These data, consisting of 6300 observations, provide a detailed record of Gulf Stream meandering and ring migration. Sea-he…
Lunar tidal acceleration obtained from satellite‐derived ocean tide parameters Open
Analysis of 100 sets of mean elements of Geos 3 computed at 2‐day intervals has yielded observation equations for the M 2 ocean tide from the long periodic variations of the inclination and node of the orbit. If the second‐degree Love numb…
Tests and comparisons of satellite derived geoids with Skylab altimeter data Open
The SKYLAB-193 radar altimeter was operated nearly continuously around the world on January 31, 1974. This direct measurement of the sea surface topography provided an independent basis for the evaluation of global geoids computed from sat…
Station coordinates for GEOS-C altimeter calibration and experimentation Open
Station coordinates are given for the C-band radar GEOS-C altimeter calibration sites at Bermuda, Merritt, Grand Turk, and Wallops Islands. The coordinates were estimated in a multi-arc dynamic solution using GEOS-2 C-band radar and laser …
A unified set of tracking station coordinates derived from geodetic satellite tracking data Open
Unified set of tracking, station coordinates on geocentric reference system from GEOS 1 and 2 tracking data
