Sea level definition

Sea level means the height of the sea with respect to a horizontal control point or benchmark such as the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Sea level rise refers to the net increase in mean sea level over time in response to global climate, local tectonic changes, glacial isostatic adjustment, and ocean dynamics. Sea level rise indicates a positive trend, thus an increase in sea level as compared to historic measurements.

• Sea level rise, intensifying storms, and other climate change related impacts may threaten port activities and associated offshore wind development.

• Sea level rise is expected to occur as a result of three phenomena: thermal expansion of the ocean surface, melting of the earth's glaciers and polar ice fields, and mixing of now stratified ocean waters.

• Sea level rise projection data shall include the 2017 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intermediate-high and intermediate-low projections (or the projection(s) required by Section 380.093, F.S.) for 2040 and 2070 (or the planning horizons selected in consultation with the Department in the “Identify Vulnerability Assessment Data Standards” task) at a minimum.

• Sea level rise work completed under the Local Coastal Grant Program shall be coordinated regionally to the extent feasible with other jurisdictions and entities working on sea level rise projects within the same county or broader regional area relevant for sea level rise adaptation, such as the watershed, littoral cell, or area with similar geologic characteristics.

• Sea level adaptation measures are not needed for the project because the area is not vulnerable to sea level rise.

More Definitions of Sea level

Sea level means the height of the sea with respect to a horizontal control point or benchmark such as the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Sea level rise refers to the net increase in mean sea level over time in response to global climate, local tectonic changes, glacial isostatic adjustment, and ocean dynamics. Sea level rise indicates a positive trend, thus an increase in sea level as compared to historic measurements. Global sea level rise is the worldwide variations in sea level due to eustatic contributions such as thermal expansion of seawater and melting glacial ice sheets. Relative sea level rise is a regional change in sea level relative to land surface elevations.

Sea level observation gaps along the European Coastline. The portion of the coast in black is not monitored by tide gauge or altimetry, the blue portions have altimetry and/or state of the art tide-gauge systems (long records + co- located GNSS + VLM estimates). The orange portion have only individual tide-gauges and co-located GNSS but not yet robust VLM estimation. For the portions of coast only relative sea level trends can be computed.
