Title: THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SEA LEVEL CHANGE ALONG THE COAST OF GUANGDONG PROVINCE

The secular trends of RSL are analysed by EOF and maximumflat filter low-passing monthly mean gauge records.The result shows that it has the feature of synchronistical rising and lowering. In the recent 30 or 40 years, the amplitudes of annual change varied from20- 40cm, its rising rate about 1.5-2.0mm ·a-1. In this paper factors that affectRSL changes are discussed through several examples, such as El Nino event, ZhujiangXiver sdicharge changes and vertical crust movement. The global sea level rise is themain factor to cause the rising of RSL along Guangdong coast.Read More
