Projecting global and regional Altimeteric Sea Level Acceleration to year 2050

More than 27 years of high precision satellite altimetry enables analysis of recent changes in global mean sea level (GMSL).

Initial test on regional sea level projections based on regionally estimated linear and quadratic terms has been added for various regions to test the possibility of projecting recent regional sea level. It contains six timeseries of data along with a 2050 projection of sea levels. The regions included in this analysis are listed in Table 1. The data used for this analysis are from the French-American satellites TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3 (TPJ data) and from the European satellites ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, CryoSat-2 (ESA data).
