Sea level rise

The 2022 Interagency Sea Level Rise Technical Report’s five scenarios for this gauge, in feet of rise above the 1996 to 2014 average, with 2005 as zero.

By 2050, 1.0 ft (Low) to 1.6 ft (High); Intermediate 1.3 ft, likely 1.0 ft to 1.6 ft. By 2100, 1.8 ft (Low) to 6.5 ft (High); Intermediate 3.9 ft, likely 3.1 ft to 4.5 ft.

The five scenarios run from 0.3 to 2.0 meters (1 to 6.6 feet) of global rise by 2100, each adjusted for this coast’s sinking or rising land and its ocean. They agree closely to 2050, when most of the rise is already set, and part after it with how fast the ice sheets melt. The likely range is the 17th to 83rd percentile.

What this means

Heights are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW): the average of the lower of each day’s two low tides over NOAA’s 19-year tidal epoch, and the zero of US tide tables and nautical charts. A low tide below that average is printed as a negative height.

Predictions are astronomical. They account for the moon and the sun, not the weather: onshore wind, low air pressure and high river flow hold the water above the prediction, offshore wind and high pressure hold it below.

Spring tides, the largest ranges of the month, follow the new and full moon by a day or two. Neap tides, the smallest, follow the quarter moons.
