Sea Level Rise
Introduction
Factors Contributing to Sea Level Change
◦ Ocean Processes
◦ Glaciers and Ice Caps
◦ Green Land and Antarctic Ice Sheets
◦ Interaction of Ice Sheets, Sea Level and Solid Earth
◦ Surface and Ground Water Storage Permafrost
Content
Introduction
Important consequences for climate change
Sea level varies due to changes operating on
seconds to millions of years
Mean Sea Level
Eustatic Sea Level
Sea Level Changes are non uniform geographically
Ocean Processes
Interaction of atmospheric pressure and air-sea fluxes
of momentum, heat and fresh water
This allows the water masses into the ocean interior
It affects density (decreases due to warm water)
Results in thermal expansion
Expansion due to water at higher temperature or under
greater pressure (i.e., at greater depth) for a given heat
input affects the global average expansion
Ocean Processes…
Salinity changes within the ocean have little effect
on global average sea level change.
Glaciers and Ice Caps
Mass balance
◦ A glacier, ice cap or ice sheet gains mass by accumulation
of snow
◦ Loses mass mainly by melting at the surface
Insufficient measurements to determine the mass
balance
Mass balance as a function of climate using mass
balance sensitivity is used
Sensitive to temperature and precipitation change
Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets
At present these sheets contain enough water to raise
sea level by almost 70 m
The average annual solid precipitation falling onto the
ice sheets is equivalent to 6.5 mm of sea level
Antarctic sheets
◦ Low temperatures
◦ No surface runoff
the ice sheet mainly loses mass by ice discharge into floating ice
shelves, which experience melting and freezing at their underside and
eventually break up to form icebergs
Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets…
Greenland Ice sheets
◦ High summer temperatures
◦ Widespread melting
which accounts for about half of the ice loss, the remainder being
discharged as icebergs or into small ice-shelves.
Ice discharge response time is of the order of 100 to
104 years
Ice sheets, Sea Level and Solid Earth
Time scale of 103 to 105 years
Glacio-hydro-isostatic effects
Surface and Ground Water Storage
Important contributors are
◦ Changes in the amount of water stored in ground
Ground water mining
◦ Changes in the amount of water on the surface in lakes
and reservoirs
Increased irrigation and other water use
◦ Modifications to surface characteristics affecting runoff or
evapotranspiration rates
