Probable future changes in sea level resulting from increased atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1983Description: 16 p. : illSubject(s): Subject: The projected climatic warming from increasing atmoshperic carbon dioxide will lead to an increased transfer of water mass to the sea from continental and alpine glaciers. The resulting rise in sea level could be about 40 cm over the next century. Increased downward infrared radiation will also lead to a warming and, therefore, expansion of the upper ocean waters, which can contribute another 30 cm for a total of 70 cm.
