Climate Impacts
The impacts of global warming on the global sea level are calculated by the Sea-Level Rise Model (SLRM), which has not been changed in IMAGE 2.4. In this model the total sea-level rise is influenced by thermal expansion of the oceans and by changing the net mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets. The most important ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are taken into account in SLRM.
Sea Level Rise Model: Model documentation, input and outputThis model was developed for the MAGICC model by Climate Research Unit (in Norwich, UK) and is described in Raper et al. (1996). | Model input and output | | Model input |
- Global temperature of the oceanic layers and global mean surface temperature change since 1880
| | Model output |
- Changes in global sea level through thermal expansion of the oceans and contributions of small glaciers, Greenland and Antarctica
