Sea Level Rise: Regional

I’ve decided to apply some area weighting to my sea level estimate based on my new method.

I’ve just begun, and so far I have defined two regions: the east and west coasts of North America. Only when I’ve done all the regional estimates for the entire world, will I combine those to form a global estimate. I’m not sure when I’ll get done, but I’ll keep readers in the loop.

I’m not sure how I want to divide the global distribution into regions; the first two are examples of one possibility, I may change my mind. I’m open to suggestion.

For the moment, here’s what I’ve found regionally. For the North Amerian east coast:

The sea level regional reconstruction is:

The rate of sea level rise/fall is:

For the North America west coast:

The sea level regional reconstruction is:

The rate of sea level rise/fall is:

I will eventually post the output data, when I finally figure out how to get WordPress to allow me to post a plain old ordinary text file without preventing it for “security reasons.” That’s when I’ll also re-post the code for my R alignment program so the indentation won’t be left out (which will make it so much easier to read).
