Some of it is relocated all along the way. Not all of it at all gets to the bulge.<br /><br />In terms of large areas like zones, SLR happens everywhere SLF does not.<br /><br />At individual tide gauge stations both happen with regularity, so the big picture, the truth if you will, is in <i>the trend line</i>.<br /><br />Remember too, that like the tides you mentioned, SLR and SLF overcome each other at times.<br /><br />Greenland one year might cause 1 mm of SLF while Antarctica might cause 1 mm of SLR at the same site.<br /><br />The long term trend presented in the historical record shows clearly this tug and pull, like the tug and pull of tides.<br /><br />The SLR and SLF ups and downs are not noticable to the naked eye on a daily basis, compared to the tides.<br /><br />But the SLR trend is quite noticeable at high tide in more and more locations every year.Dreddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629960642482064127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-71121553559334543842016-03-15T19:04:34.201-05:002016-03-15T19:04:34.201-05:00Thanks Dredd!
Fascinating just to ponder all this....Thanks Dredd!<br />Fascinating just to ponder all this. Have also been thinking about the moon /sun influence on tides on top of the displacement of melt water towards the equator; seems likely that latitudes well above and below the zero line will experience sharp SLR too.<br />http://www.moonconnection.com/tides.phtml<br />Note: The tides are affected by many things including 'depth' of seas and still the best ways to 'forecast' the tides are through long term record keeping of observations as astronomical measures are imprecise.
