1840000 Chuuk, Pacific Ocean


The mean sea level (MSL) trend at Chuuk, Pacific Ocean is +0.60 mm/year with a 95% confidence interval of ±2.01 mm/year, based on monthly mean sea level data from 1947/10 to 1995/6. That is equivalent to a change of 0.20 feet in 100 years. (R‑squared = 0.009)

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. 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.

Linear:
  y = B + M·x
  y = -25.449 + 0.597·x mm
 
Quadratic:
  y = B' + M·x + A·x²
  y = -22.426 + 0.597·x + -0.0192·x² mm
 
where:
  Date range = 1947/10 to 1995/6
  x = (date - 1972.12(i.e., 1972/2)
  slope = M = 0.597 ±2.011 mm/yr
  acceleration = 2·A = 2×-0.0192 = -0.0383 ±0.3403 mm/yr²
