Fig. 36.1. Annual averages of the global mean sea level (mm). The thin black line with standard deviations is the reconstructed sea level since 1870 (from Ref. 7) the shaded gray curve shows coastal tide gage measurements since 1950 (from Ref. 8) and the solid black line is based on satellite altimetry (from Ref. 9). The reconstructed sea level field and the tide gage mesisurements are deviations from their averages for 1961 to 1990 the satellite altimetry is the deviation from the average of the reconstructed sea level for the period 1993 to 2001. Error bars show 90% confidence. (Prom Ref. 10 Fig. 5.13).
