CHANGES IN MEAN SEA LEVEL ON THE POLISH COAST OF THE BALTIC SEA BASED ON TIDE GAUGE DATA FROM THE YEARS 1811-2015

摘要

Changes in the mean sea level are the result of climate change, environmental change and human activity. The Baltic Sea is located in an area of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) which scientists are particularly interested in. However, published reports from this region do not include tide gauges located on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. Previous scientific studies include only selected tide gauges at various time intervals. The authors used different types of data (Revised Local Reference (RLR) data and metric data). They did not analyze the occurrence of vertical shifts (jumps) in time series.
