The paper confirms that the ocean has been rising in fits and starts since the 19th century. And both the tide gauges and satellites show that the rate of sea-level rise appears to have accelerated in the early 1990s, so that the ocean is now rising at about a foot per century, perhaps slightly less. That is almost twice the rate of increase that prevailed through most of the 20th century.

Steven: where is the site I can get that chart, or better, the raw data?

About 30 seconds after posting, I found your earlier post with the link.
What do you use to open the CDF file?
That is a pain. I use ncview, which mainly runs on Linux. I have a Windows version, but it won’t work on most people’s systems. NCAR graphics (ncl) are reasonably good, but also a pain on Windows. I’ve tried a couple of other Netcdf packages which supposedly run on windows, but they don’t.
Thanks. I will try to get some copies. The data in ASCII or Excel would have been nice….
I’ve seen a netcdf to excel converter somewhere.
Why then isn’t the MSM and insurance companies saying ” Stop all coastal building and for people to move inland” if the oceans are rising so bad?
A foot a century? (assuming the article is true). So much for worrying about Iowa Sea Front Property! 😉
