Fig. 3: Acceleration of mean sea level (MSL) change rates from tide gauges, satellite altimetry, and steric height over 1993–2020.

a Quadratic coefficients fit to satellite altimetry and tide-gauge records (circles; after removing vertical land motion and inverted barometer contributions; see Methods). b Same as (a), but for steric height based on gridded fields derived from in-situ temperature and salinity observations from ref. 50.
