| Ports are Ports |
I. Background
In previous posts of this series PSMSL coastal areas were considered for the purpose of showing, among other things, that the "bathtub model" (The Bathtub Model Doesn't Hold Water, 2, 3, 4, 5) of "The Warming Commentariat" (The Warming Science Commentariat, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) is a falsified hypothesis because sea level change is different from place to place instead of being like the surface of the water in a bathtub.
Appendices in the past two posts of this series show that radical differences in sea level change even in one coastal area (e.g. sea level fall and sea level rise in the same coastal area) in the same country (Calculating Seaport Dangers, 2).
II. USA Tide Gauge Stations Around Ports
Today's appendices detail sea level change recorded by tide gauge stations in six coastal areas (APNDX 760, APNDX 820, APNDX 821, APNDX 823, APNDX 940, APNDX 960) of the USA.
Another one is an HTML table of tide gauge stations by number and Coast id (USA Tide Gauge Stations).
This, when compared with other countries, shows that port sea level change is different from port to port.
The environmental dangers they face is not like the Wendy's "Parts is Parts" situation.
