Zone AH, Quadrant SE, Subquadrant NE

Fig. 1

This area on the sea level change map is the large metropolitan areas around New York City, along the East Coast of the USA.

Notice that there is a general sea level rise 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

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.

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 subquadrant:
