The mean sea level (MSL) trend at Rauma / Raumo, Finland is 0.00 mm/year with a 95% confidence interval of ± 0.00 mm/year, based on monthly mean sea level data from ???? to ????. That is equivalent to a change of 0.00 feet in 100 years. (R‑squared = (?))

The plot shows the monthly mean sea level without the regular seasonal fluctuations due to coastal ocean temperatures, salinities, winds, atmospheric pressures, and ocean currents. By default, the long-term linear trend is also shown, in red, along with its 95% confidence interval. The plotted values are relative to the most recent Mean Sea Level datum established by NOAA CO-OPS.

Regressions
Linear:
  y = B + M·x
  y = B + M·x mm
Quadratic:
  y = B' + M·x + A·x²
  y = B + M·x + A·x² mm
where:
  Date range = (1935) to (2015)
  x = (date - avg(date)(date)
  slope = M = ± mm/yr
  acceleration = 2·A = 2×A = ± mm/yr²

Pasteable
  linear trend = ± mm/yr
  acceleration = ± mm/yr²

Calculation of Confidence Intervals and Prediction Intervals for monthly Mean Sea-Level (MSL) is complicated by the fact that MSL measurement data is serially autocorrelated. That means each month's MSL measurement is correlated, to an extent which varies by location, with the MSL measurements of the previous and next months. That means there are effectively fewer independent measurements, which would cause a naive confidence interval calculation to underestimate the breadth of the intervals. The code here follows the method of Zervas 2009, “Sea Level Variations of the United States 1854-2006,” NOAA Technical Report NOS CO-OPS 053 (or here), p. 15-24, to account for autocorrelation, when calculating confidence intervals and prediction intervals. That isn't the only way to do it, though, and one of the items on my to-do list is to examine alternative approaches.
