AVISO Releases Updated Global Mean Sea Level Indicators with Data Processing Changes
Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
This article discusses the release of updated AVISO Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) indicators, which include important changes to input data and processing software. It explains that rising sea levels are a direct response to global warming, driven primarily by two factors: thermal expansion of seawater from ocean heat absorption and the addition of water from melting land ice. The release notes and documentation provide details on the data processing changes and geophysical corrections, along with an impact assessment of these updates.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThis release of the AVISO GMSL indicators includes several important changes regarding input data and processing software.
As global warming progresses, one direct response of the climate system is rising sea levels.
This increase is caused by two main factors: the thermal expansion of seawater due to ocean heat absorption and the addition of water from melting land ice.
