Pacific Atoll Islands Showing No Sign of Drowning

Written by Dr Albert Parker on November 8, 2018. Posted in Current News

Sea levels at atolls in the Pacific Ocean are stubbornly refusing to rise, contradicting climate alarmist predictions. The 29 long-term-trend tide gauges relied on by researchers show negligible changes, within the margin of error consistent with natural variability.

The East coast of Asia has 5 LTT tide gauges, Oshoro, Wajima, Hosojima, Tonoura, and Aburatsubo, in Japan.

Oceania has also 5 LTT tide gauges, Fremantle, that is however in the Indian Ocean, and Sydney in Australia; Auckland and Dunedin in New Zealand; and Honolulu, in the Hawaii Islands, USA.

Along the West Coast of North America, there are 20 LTT tide gauges,  Ketchikan, AK, USA; Sitka, AK, USA; Juneau, AK, USA; Unalaska, AK, USA; Prince Rupert, Canada; Point Atkinson, Canada; Vancouver, Canada; Victoria, Canada; Tofino, Canada; Friday Harbour, WA, USA; Seattle, WA, USA; Neah Bay, WA, USA; Astoria, OR, USA; Crescent City, CA, USA; San Francisco, CA, USA; Santa Monica, CA, USA; Los Angeles, CA, USA; La Jolla, CA, USA; San Diego, CA, USA, and Balboa, Panama.

The sea levels rates of rise and accelerations of the 20 LTT tide gauges of  the West Coast of North America, the 4 LTT tide gauges of Oceania in the Pacific, and 1 of the 5 LTT tide gauges of Japan can be found in www.sealevel.info, that use the data of PSMSL and NOAA.

Here is Juneau, AK …

Here is San Francisco, CA

Here is Balboa, Panama

Here is Honolulu, HI

Here is Sydney, NSW, Australia

Here is Tonoura, Japan

(the interested reader may visit www.sealevel.info for the remaining 19 LTT stations …)

For what concerns the other 4 LTT stations of Japan, that opposite to Tonoura, are still operational, www.sealevel.info, does not help, because NOAA and PSMSL only report some of the data available.

However, the data of these very good tide gauges, with data since Jul. 1894 in Aburatsubo, since Jan. 1894 in Hosojima, since  Jan. 1894 in Wajima, and since Nov. 1905 in Oshoro, can be found here, www.gsi.go.jp/kanshi/tide_furnish_e.html

Here is Hosojima ….

Any one able to distinguish between the parabolic and the linear fittings?

(the interested reader may visit www.gsi.go.jp/kanshi/tide_furnish_e.html for the other 3 LTT stations …)

The 29 long-term-trend (LTT) tide gauges in the Pacific Ocean have average sea level rate of rise and acceleration negligible, and to be precise, both small negative,

-0.02139 mm/yr. and -0.00007 mm/yr² respectively,

rather than positive ….
