The effect of spatial averaging and glacier melt on detecting a forced signal in regional sea level
Description: Here scientists investigate the spatial scales that are necessary to detect an externally forced signal in regional sea level within a selected fixed time period. Detection on a regional scale is challenging due to the increasing magnitude of unforced variability in dynamic sea level on progressively smaller spatial scales. Using unforced control simulations with no evolving forcing the researchers quantify the magnitude of regional internal variability depending on the degree of spatial averaging.
