Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">by Dr. Alan Welch FBIS FRAS \u2014 2 December 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note: This paper will be published in two mutually-dependent parts, this part and the second to follow in day or two, depending on the publishing schedule here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question \u201cWhy does the Global Sea Level Rise have a sinusoidal variation with a period of about 26 years?\u201d was asked in the comments to one of my papers in 2023. My reply pointed out that the satellite coverage was only 95% and so what was happening in the other 5% may be relevant. In my follow up paper \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/04\/06\/measuring-and-analysing-sea-levels-%20using-satellites-during-2023-part-2\/\">Measuring and Analysing Sea Levels using Satellites during 2023 \u2013 Part 2<\/a>\u201d. I analysed the Tidal Gauge results of 9 ports in the northern regions of the Atlantic Ocean and above up to the Arctic Ocean. The analysis was very simplistic but showed promise so now a more detailed analysis will be carried out using procedures and methods developed more recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before proceeding another question could be \u201cso what?\u201d. The graph is basically almost linear (R2 = 0.99) with fits using quadratic or sinusoidal adding very little on this. But in 2018 Nerem et al produced their paper concentrating on a quadratic curve, using the small quadratic coefficient to be representative of an acceleration. If they had contained this to the confines of the data all would have been acceptable, but they proceeded to extrapolate for over 80 years and release their paper. The paper as still being used as a reference in many papers each month. Over the 8 years it has been used to create dramatic scenarios of flooded cities and frighten all the children. The investigation of a sinusoidal curve has tried to balance the picture. A point overlooked in using the quadratic curve is that if the calculations had been started in 2008, they would now show a deceleration. What paper would Nerem et al then write?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paper is in two parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part 1 contains preliminary analyses in which each Tidal Gauge is processed up to the Spectral Analysis stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part 2 carries out Curve Fitting in which residual values (Actual values minus values on a best fit curve) are judged against a curve that is the combination of 2 or 3 sinusoidal curves using peak periods derived from the spectral analyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preliminary Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This study makes more use of Tidal Gauge data than NOAA data but uses Spectral Analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 9 locations are Reykjavik \u2013 Iceland Torshavn \u2013 Faroe Islands<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aberdeen \u2013 Scotland Lerwick \u2013 Scotland Bergen \u2013 Norway Barentsberg \u2013 Svalbard Narvik \u2013 Norway Murmansk \u2013 Russia Tiksi \u2013 Russia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only Aberdeen and Bergen have datasets spanning more than 100 years, with Torshavn covering only about 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before analysing these 9 ports the results for Brest will be studied as this covers over 210 years although there are a couple of sizeable breaks in data. This work was carried out earlier, but some aspects will be of interest. The data are shown in Figure 1.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"425\" height=\"207\" data-attachment-id=\"416076\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=416076\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-78.png?fit=425%2C207&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"425,207\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-78.png?fit=425%2C207&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-78.png?resize=425%2C207&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Graph illustrating the mean sea level at Brest, France, from 1800 to 2006, showing a trend with fluctuating data points represented in blue, and a smooth green line indicating the overall trend.\" class=\"wp-image-416076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-78.png?w=425&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-78.png?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Figure 1<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The usual curve fitting is carried out as shown in Figure 2.

These Theta values are relative values and do not indicate actual physical values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(I may not have described the process clearly, and may not have described it correctly, so if anyone out there can help I would be very grateful)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning now to the 9 Tidal Gauge datasets they will be considered starting with the longest period of measurement and then in roughly an order of reducing period. But before proceeding the following 9 small figures (in Figure 13) show the outcome of the earlier curve fitting exercise of a 26-year period curve to plots of the residual values, that is the actual values minus the value on the quadratic fit. Whilst a roughly 26-year period curve fits in many positions there is evidence of other, usually, longer period components as can be seen in the Aberdeen plot where a larger 85ish year variation is obvious. The larger spectral analysis peaks will refer to primary modes, but shorter ones may be other primary modes or secondary modes. One problem with these 9 analyses was that the data plotted is a moving average based on 101 data points. With no breaks in data this equates to just over 8 years but as there are several gaps in the data this may distort matters.

The tables are basically values from the software\u2019s original use, which was variable star analysis. The first column is Frequency<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(1\/Period) in cycles per year. Time is the Period at which this Frequency occurs in Years. Theta has been referenced in this paper as Amplitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this stage no curve fitting was carried out as in most cases there are 2 or more peaks. The Amplitudes used on the Spectral Analysis (<strong>amp<\/strong>) and the Amplitudes of the Sinusoidal Curves (<strong>AMP<\/strong>) have been studied for known multi sinusoidal curves and it has been found that the Amplitudes for a pair of curves, 1 and 2, are related by the equation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMP2 = AMP1 * SQRT(amp2\/ amp1) (Equation 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
