report, trends show that the UK climate is continuing to warm and that sea levels continue to rise. � � � � � The average temperature over the most recent decade (2008-2017) has been on average 0.3 °C warmer than the 1981-2010 average and 0.8 °C warmer than the 1961-1990 average. Nine of the ten warmest

Hadley Centre. Dr Anne Pardaens Anne works on sea level rise with a particular interest in projected regional variations. Dr Jeff Ridley Jeff is a climate scientist working on the understanding and modelling of ice sheets and mountain glaciers, and their likely contribution to future global sea

to how rapidly we can tackle climate change. ‣ As a result, we are locked in to some level of future change for many key climate variables which have widespread human impacts, such as surface temperature warming and sea level rise. ‣ For surface temperature, it is still possible to limit warming

Reviewed by Matt Palmer and Joe Daron Summary Sea level rise presents an acute threat to vulnerable coastal communities in the South Asia region. Until recently, coastal risk assessments in the region have been restricted to using global sea level projections and trends from short-duration tide gauge

-term warming trend is expected to continue. One third of sea-level rise Some aspects of the Earth system take longer than surface temperature to respond to greenhouse gas forcing. For example, global mean sea-level adjusts over a longer period and therefore lags behind changes in temperature. Over

The 32nd annual State of the Climate report – published today by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society – shows that two marine-related measures – ocean heat content and global sea level rise – were the highest on record last year. Scientists measure climate change by a number

. The project is trialing the application of Met Office Hadley Centre Climate Programme (MOHCCP) outputs around the globe, including applying the new global climate model projections and Sea Level Rise estimates. ​The trial services will include sea level rise estimates, data provision, e-learning
