GLOSS - The Global Sea Level Observing System Global Level of the Sea Surface 1. Monitoring and Measuring Sea Level – Why and How? 2. The GLOSS Programme – Network and Activities 3. Sea Level Data Thorkild Aarup, GLOSS Technical Secretary t.aarup@unesco.org http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

GLOSS - The Global Sea Level Observing System Establishment of high quality global and regional sea level networks for application to climate, oceanographic and coastal sea level research Sea level stations around the world for long term climate change and oceanographic sea level monitoring Coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Major contributor to IOC’s Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

Why Measure the Sea Level? How to Monitor the Sea Level? Scientific research – e.g. to measure long term changes in global sea level and ocean circulation Practical applications – e.g. to predict flood risks in coastal regions How to Monitor the Sea Level? Satellite radar altimetry Tide gauges In the deep ocean: bottom pressures obtained from sea bed devices http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

Measuring Sea Level Changes Altimeter System Bottom Pressure Gauge Tide Gauge (float) http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

in the “Age of Altimetry”? Why Tide Gauges in the “Age of Altimetry”? Principle of continuity, relative low cost of gauges Long records for secular trend/acceleration studies (e.g. for input to IPCC) Higher frequency sampling important in straits and other areas High latitude regions of ice coverage Altimeter calibrations (‘absolute’ and ‘relative’) Coastal applications (GOOS Coastal Module) Acoustic Gauge in Australia http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

Sea-Level Changes Different Time-Scales Momentary changes due to tsunamis Daily changes due to tides and surges Seasonal changes Interannual changes e.g. due to ENSO Long term changes due to climate change Causes of Sea Level Change Local processes in river/coastal regimes Ocean circulation changes Regional and global climate changes Geological processes Maldives Int. Airport http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

Long Term Changes in Sea Level Past 100 years Most records show evidence for rising sea levels during the past century IPCC concluded that there has been a global rise of approximately 10-20 cm during the past 100 years http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

Long Term Changes in Sea Level Next 100 years a rise between 9 and 88 cm a central value of 48 cm a rate of approx. 2.2 - 4.4 times that of the past 100 years Projected sea level rise, IPCC 2001 http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

The GLOSS Programme/Networks GLOSS Core Network (GCN) Regional Densifications of the GCN Long Term Trends (LLT) Altimeter calibration (GLOSS-ALT set) Ocean Circulation (GLOSS-OC set) GLOSS Core Network (GCN) with approx. 280 stations http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html

GLOSS Activities http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html Regional Developments Regional networks of gauges with greater spatial density, to serve the particular oceanographic interests of those regions - examples: IOCARIBE (Caribbean), MedGLOSS (Mediterranean & Black Seas) National Activities Contribution to the activities of national agencies by improving the standards for sea level recording around the world Training Annual training courses on the techniques of tide gauge operations, and workshops on special interests e.g. measurements in environmentally hostile areas http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/programmes/gloss.info.html
