Zusammenfassung |
Southeast Asian seas span the largest archipelago in the global ocean
and provide a complex oceanic pathway connecting the Pacific and Indian
oceans. The Southeast Asian sea regional sea level trends are some of the highest observed
in the modern satellite altimeter record that now spans almost 2 decades.
Initial comparisons of global sea level reconstructions find that 17-year
sea level trends over the past 60 years exhibit good agreement with decadal
variability associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and related
fluctuations of trade winds in the region. The Southeast Asian sea region exhibits sea
level trends that vary dramatically over the studied time period. This
historical variation suggests that the strong regional sea level trends
observed during the modern satellite altimeter record will abate as trade
winds fluctuate on decadal and longer timescales. Furthermore, after
removing the contribution of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) to sea level trends in the past
20 years, the rate of sea level rise is greatly reduced in the Southeast Asian sea region. As
a result of the influence of the PDO, the Southeast Asian sea regional sea level trends
during the 2010s and 2020s are likely to be less than the global mean sea level
(GMSL) trend if the observed oscillations in wind forcing and sea level
persist. Nevertheless, long-term sea level trends in the Southeast Asian seas will continue
to be affected by GMSL rise occurring now and in the future. |
