Aren't you glad?
Anyway, I am partying because the projection software is moving along.
Yes, the sea level rise (SLR) and sea level fall (SLF) projection code is hooked up and working !
Now, one must decide to smooth it, or not, and if so, what smoother?
But that great smoothness looks jagged when 100 years or so are compacted into a small space, so, I like the way the old tide gauges jumped around, jagged, moving, like the oceans really are.
So my "smoother" is just another word for "let it be."

After checking the ups and downs of the history of a station, it continues a similar, but never-the-less future projection of the past.
Fig. 3 Yakutat no -9999, no smoothing |
Anyway, hope you enjoy the the "eyelash lily" (ChristieLM calls it "Spider Lily"), so I defer.
I am tired and have something to watch.

What does it mean ?? (circa 1960)
It could have a new name.
Another oxymoron
Like: congressional intelligence. (circa 2015)
Washington outsider.
Plutocratic democracy.
Political correctness.
Corporate concern.
What purpose does artificial "smoothing" serve? i'm with you on leaving it be.

Great work, Dredd!

Tom,
DeleteGood point.
I came to the same conclusion.
No smoothing code has been put into the model.
The problem was that some SL values in the PSMSL data are -9999 on purpose when values are unavailable (e.g. during a war, etc.).
I was going to build a bridge (smoothing) between the last good number and the next good number.
I decided to exclude them completely because in reality it would be play pretend.
