The Question Is: How Much Acceleration Is Involved In SLR? - 15

Fig. 1 Average Acceleration

Acceleration of Sea Level Change (SLC) at individual tide gauge stations is like SLC in general, it varies from stations at one seacoast compared to stations at another seacoast, depending on location differences.

The decadal average acceleration of a large group of such tide gauge stations around the globe is shown in Fig. 1.

The average SLC itself in PSMSL RLR values and the quantity of SLC in millimeters, at those same tide gauge stations, is shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 RLR and SLC values

In the previous post of this series the individual tide gauge station RLR values were shown in the following appendices (GAUGES A-D, GAUGES E-H, GAUGES I-L, GAUGES M-P, GAUGES Q-S, GAUGES T-Z;  Note that the coastline code numbers mentioned in those appendices are PSMSL coastline codes listed on the PSMSL website here).

All the stations in any one coastline code are averaged and listed in the appendices by the first letter in the name of each country the stations are located in (for example "United States" values would be listed in Appendix T-Z).
