Flat line = no acceleration of sea level rise from man made CO2 after 1940

The Manhattan Battery 
tide gage now has 
a co-located 
Continuous GPS 
Reference station
attached to the same structure, 
and NOAA CORS is tracking 
vertical land movement there 
— estimated for the 3.5 years 
of data available, at about 
minus 1.35 mm per year 
(downward vertical movement). 

That is 1/2 to 1/3 
of the total change 
in relative sea level 
at the site. 

The Battery is mounted 
to Manhattan’s bedrock, 
not a pier in mud, 
which makes it one of 
the steadier tide gauges.
(sorry I had previously
posted the Atlantic City,
New Jersey chart 
by accident -- 
I added the 
Manhattan chart
on February 4
-- not much
different, actually)
