Title: Sea Level Changes along Guangdong Coast over the Last Century
Abstract:In an attempt to estimate the probable variation of sea level along coastal Guangdong for the 21st century,the authors analyze a number of periods of distinct sea level change during the last 100 year...In an attempt to estimate the probable variation of sea level along coastal Guangdong for the 21st century,the authors analyze a number of periods of distinct sea level change during the last 100 years.The analysis is performed with the aid of instrumental tide data,accumulated from tide gauges along the coast of Guangdong.The results present a steady,consistent acceleration of sea level rise over the previous century,that can be demonstrated through the data,which reveal a sea level rising rate of 2.1 mm/a between 1925 and 2010,2.5 mm/a between 1970 and 2010,and 3.2 mm/a between 1992 and 2010.Incidentally,the overall trend of the rate increase is consistent with that of the average sea level variation on a global scale.However,during the 1990s sea level rise along coastal Guangdong was also related to,and consistent with,the dramatic sea level rise in the Western Tropical Pacific.Read More
