Zone AG, Quadrant NE, Subquadrant SE

Fig. 1

This area on the sea level change map is Southwest British Columbia and Northwest USA.

Notice that there is a general sea level back and forth (rise and fall) scenario.

The graph @ Fig. 1 shows the PSMSL RLR millimeter values (panel 1), the sea level changes in millimeter values beginning @ zero (panel 2), and the temperature changes in degrees Celsius (panel 3).

Fig. 2

The graph @ Fig. 2 shows the sea level changes (upper panel) and temperature changes (lower panel) at a larger focus.

The graph @ Fig. 3 shows those sea level changes and temperature changes in a proportional focus.

The take-home from this, IMO, is: 1) thermal expansion of sea water is not a major factor in sea level change, 2) there is no

Fig. 3

direct correlation between temperature fluctuation and sea level fluctuation, 3) sea level change at any location is caused by events on the Greenland Ice sheet, the Antarctica Ice sheet, and the land-based glaciers in various locations, and 4) the ice sheet and glacial melting and disintegration is caused by fossil fuel burning.

I have updated this post with two graphs (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).

They urge a different fingerprint for the source of sea level change (SLC) in the form of a

Fig. 4

geographical fingerprint that shows the effect of the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, as well as land based glaciers (such as at Glacier Bay in Alaska).

Additionally, they show a different geophysical fingerprint for the source of SLC, in place of the Bathtub Model's thermal expansion hypothesis.

Fig. 5

The geographical gist of it amounts to calculating where on Earth the water and ice come from that causes SLC.

The geophysical gist of it amounts to calculation what dynamics caused the SLC.

The data below is detailed Zone subquadrant information about: 1) the PSMSL tide gauge stations used in the graphs, 2) the GISS weather stations also used, and 3) seaports in this Zone sub-quadrant:
