• NOAA CDR Program (NCDC)• NASA Measures Program • ESA Climate Change Initiative• SCOPE-CM (Operational meteorological agencies: EUMETSAT, NOAA, JMA, CMA)
Multiple agency efforts underway:
For practical purposes, the Ocean Surface Topography Science Team (OSTST), jointly led by NOAA, NASA, EUMETSAT & CNES, will be the focal point.

The Challenge
?Ensemble mean steric sea level change (m), 2091-2100 wrt 1980-2000, from 12 AR4 models. (Yin et al., JCLIM, 2010)
TOPEX/Jason sea level trends (steric & eustatic) 1992 to 2010

Sea Level BudgetSLtotal = SLsteric + SLmass
Total sea level• Tide gauge calibration shows offset November 2009• Trends in coastal/shallow water are significantly larger
than global sea level riseSteric sea level• Argo coverage and pressure sensor issuesOcean mass• Differences depending on processing center• Glacial isostatic adjustment models

Possible causes of offset/driftCommon to all altimeter calibrationsTide gauges• Instrument and datum shifts• Vertical land motion
Meteorological fields• Dry troposphere
• Inverted barometer correction is not applied for calibration
Reference frame
Independent causes• Wet troposphere

Trends in sea level20th century rate of sea level rise: 1.7 ± 0.3 mm/yrRate during altimetry era (1992–2010): 3.3 ± 0.4 mm/yr
• (when corrected for GIA effect of +0.3 mm/year)

Sea level rise near coastsSince 2002 coastal sea level rise has been significantly
larger than global
Trends from 2005.5 to 2010.5• Complete Jason coverage area: 2.6 mm/year• > 120m depth 2.3 mm/year (sealevel.colorado.edu)• > 200 km from the coast 1.9 mm/year (Leuliette & Miller 2009)
Trends 2005 – 2010.5 Trends versus distance

Ocean mass: geoid changeOcean mass variations observed directly from GRACE have little trend for
2004 – 2010.
A complete analysis must account for ocean mass changes “masked” by geoid
variations from the solid Earth’s response to ice melt since the last ice age (Glacial
Isostatic Adjustment, GIA)
• Published results differ more than forcing uncertainty (~20%)

17Ocean Climate Observation 7th Annual System Review • Silver Spring, Maryland• 27–29 October 2010
DiscussionWhile the 6-year “global” budget can be closed within 90%
confidence intervals, “global” excludes > 66°, < 200 km from coasts, and > 900 m depth (Argo)
Total sea level• Tide gauge calibration issue needs to be resolved to ensure the integrity of the
sea level CDR
Steric sea level• Global analyses are preliminary until pressure drift issues are resolved
Ocean mass• Consensus on GIA correction: Paulson, et al. (2007) and Tamisiea (2010) are
appropriate for ocean mass trends• NASA has included the rapid follow-on to GRACE in its budget for a start in
FY2011 with launch by 2016• Heavily focused on maintaining data continuity from GRACE and minimizing any data
gap after GRACE.
