Figure 6: Time-series of
relative sea level for the past 300 years from Northern Europe: Amsterdam, Netherlands;
Brest, France; Sheerness, UK; Stockholm, Sweden (detrended over the period 1774
to 1873 to remove to first order the contribution of post-glacial rebound); Swinoujscie,
Poland (formerly Swinemunde, Germany); and Liverpool, UK. Data for the latter
are of “Adjusted Mean High Water” rather than Mean Sea Level and include
a nodal (18.6 year) term. The scale bar indicates ±100 mm. [Based on Figure
