Water withdrawals include domestic, industrial, irrigation and livestock consumptive and non-consumptive uses

) and projections (SROCC). Figure 3.2: Global time-mean sea level (GMSL) projections for the 21 st century adapted from Palmer et al (2020), including components indicated in the figure legend. The shaded regions indicate the range of projections for the total GMSL rise and from global mean thermosteric sea

, Data: EUMETSAT March 2016 Total eclipse over Indonesia - 8 March 2016 The total eclipse shows as the shadow of the moon cast on the earth. The imagery uses false-colour visible images. These look similar to how it would appear to the human eye, except the ice clouds show up as a cyan colour

, as well as some higher unofficial totals from non-Met Office observations where unofficial reports suggest as much as 20-25 cm may have fallen over high ground in parts of Wales and the West Midlands.

difference between the two baseline periods computed using four tide-gauge reconstructions of GMSL (Church & White, 2011; Hay et al., 2015; Jevrejeva et al., 2014; Ray & Douglas, 2011). The result is an offset of +0.011m for the total sea level, which is then applied across components according
