Sentence examples for maximum sea level from inspiring English sources

In its 2007 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated a maximum sea level rise of 59 centimetres by 2100, but noted it was a low estimate because it excluded the contribution from dynamical processes such as the calving of icebergs, a phenomenon increasingly being observed around the edges of Greenland and Antarctica.

More recent work on sea level fluctuations indicates a maximum sea level drop of circa 130 meters (Clark and Mix 2002; Dyke et al. 2002), suggesting that the CLIMAP minimum ice model is more consistent with observed sea level variation during the LGM.

Its fifth assessment report, to be published in final form this fall, anticipates a maximum sea-level rise of only three feet by the year 2100.

The skew surge, which is defined as the difference between maximum observed sea level and maximum predicted tide, is as high as 0.75 m during this event (Fig. 1).

For comparison, the average maximum sea ice level, based on data from 1980-2010, is 6.04 million square miles, or 431,000 more square miles of ice than there was in 2016.

During periods of maximum ice minimum sea level, the interior craton was widely exposed.

In order to make full use of the available global dataset for better global coverage of potential storm surge impact assessment, information diffusion theory was introduced to estimate the maximum relative sea level.

Additionally, the dynamics of this sedimentary environment were only possible because during the Last Glacial Maximum, the sea level remained low enough to allow for the formation of coastal dune fields and fans.

At the last glacial maximum, global sea level is estimated to have dropped to approximately 140 m lower than the present level [ 45].

Plausible explanations for this situation may lie in the fact that some 20 000 years ago, during the Last Glacial Maximum, when sea level was ∼120 m lower than today (Rohling et al. 1998; Clark et al. 2009), the Island of Vis was part of the mainland.

Discussion about what may happen in the future of the Warm Pool under global warming is presented together with a description of the Warm Pool during the past, such as the Last Glacial Maximum when sea levels had dropped by ~125 m.
