Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Although the global mean sea-level budget for the20th century can now be closed, the understanding of sealevelchange on a regional scale is still limited. In this studywe compare observations from tide gauges to regional patternsfrom various contributions to sea-level change to seehow much of the regional measurements can be explained.Processes that are included are land ice mass changes andterrestrial storage changes with associated gravitational, rotationaland deformational effects, steric/dynamic changes,atmospheric pressure loading and glacial isostatic adjustment(GIA). The study focuses on the mean linear trend of regionalsea-level rise between 1961 and 2003. It is found that on aregional level the explained variance of the observed trendis 0.87 with a regression coefficient of 1.07. The observationsand models overlap within the 1 uncertainty range inall regions. The main processes explaining the variability inthe observations appear to be the steric/dynamic componentand the GIA. Local observations prove to be more difficultto explain because they show larger spatial variations, andtherefore require more information on small-scale processes. |
