Quantifying anthropogenic and natural contributions to thermosteric sea level rise
- Analyzes changes in thermosteric sea level at decadal and longer time scales due to anthropogenic forcing and natural variability of the climate system
- Extracts the common signal of climate models from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 using a signal‐to‐noise maximizing empirical orthogonal function technique for the period 1950–2005
- Computes the fraction of the observed thermosteric sea level rise of anthropogenic origin and conclude that 87% of the observed trend in the upper 700 m since 1970 is induced by human activity
