TL;DR: Simple extrapolation of the quadratic implies global mean sea level could rise 65 ± 12 cm by 2100 compared with 2005, roughly in agreement with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment Report (AR5) model projections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used unified geophysical modeling and the new ITRF2005 terrestrial reference frame for the entire altimetric time series, with consistent orbits based on satellite laser ranging (SLR) and DORIS tracking data.

TL;DR: In this article, the Poseidon-3 radar altimeter onboard the Jason-2/OSTM satellite was used to acquire and maintain the majority of lake and reservoir surfaces in varying terrains, and the 20Hz along-track resolution of the data, and particularly the availability of the range output from the ice-retracker algorithm, also improved the number of valid height measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 50 ten-day cycles of TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) data to evaluate the ocean dynamic topography and its temporal variations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the recomputation of a time series of orbits that rely on a consistent set of reference frames and geophysical models, and using the latest altimeter corrections for TOPEX, Jason-1, and Jason-2 from September 1992 to May 2009, they find a global rate in mean sea level of 3.0 ± 0.4 mm/yr.
