They hypothesize that the joint effects of sea surface temperatures over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Arctic Oscillation, which is closely related to the North Atlantic Oscillation, play a significant role when describing flood variability in North America and Europe since 1900.
In this article, a regional sea-level database for the Pacific coast of central North America was used to constrain a model of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). The influence of tectonics was carefully considered to ensure that the GIA parameter estimates are accurate.
The results suggest that, even with global warming limited to within 2°C above preindustrial levels aimed for in the Paris Agreement, climate zones and ecosystems will shift poleward or to higher altitudes, rapid polar warming may release significant additional greenhouse gases, and sea-level wil
