I recently perused A Rising Sea and the Toxic Tides That Could Be Unleashed from Capital and Main (About Capital and Main) which was published on
At the same time I was analyzing a Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) feature called "End of year data archives."
Those PSMSL files contain Revised Local Reference (RLR) data organized in tide gauge number named pages (e.g. "1.rlrdata" for Brest France).
Those archived files contain annual "end-of-year" sea level values in geocentric sea level format.
I have generated graphs using that data, but it is presented in a country by country format, i.e. the same tide gauge stations in the End of year data (2011-2025) archive, but organized by country name first, then the tide gauge stations within that country by their number(s).
What is quite stark and something for us to not forget, is how un-bathtub like the ocean dynamics of the Earth are even though the "Bathtub model" historically has been taught as fact (The Bathtub Model Doesn't Hold Water, 2, 3, 4, 5).
The graphs in today's appendices make that reality quite obvious (APNDX A-B, APNDX C-D, APNDX E-F, APNDX G-I, APNDX J-M, APNDX N-P, APNDX R-S, APNDX T-U, APNDX V-Y) .
The way to use these graphs is to check out the countries in the appendix APNDX Countries And Stations to find a country that interests you.
The first letter of the country's name determines the appendix where the graph of that country is located (the numbers in parentheses are links to the individual PSMSL station information used in those graphs).
Remember that the Dredd Blog graphs are the sea level history of all of the individual listed tide gauge stations of that country on one graph (as in Fig. 1) while the PSMSL graphs and data linked to in the Countries And Stations appendix feature a single tide gauge station's sea level history.
