Overview

Time-series of non-seasonal ocean mass component of global mean sea level

Time-series of non-seasonal ocean mass component of global mean sea level (GMSL) derived from GRACE, along with GMSL estimated from altimetry and thermosteric sea level estimated from Argo floats. The altimetry data are from R. Steven Nerem at the University of Colorado, and can be . The thermosteric time-series is from NOAA NODC and can be . Unfiltered time-series of ocean mass variations in mm of sea level can be .
