New Type of SLC Detection Model - 10

Fig. 1

I am adding a feature that contrasts sea level change (SLC) volatility in relatively close areas.

The two examples today show Yakutat (Fig. 1) which is near Glacier Bay, Alaska, and San Francisco (Fig. 2), both on the west coast of the U.S.eh?, and both covered in previous posts (Proof of Concept - 3).

These two quickie graphs I did show the contrast of global mean sea level (GMSL) and global mean surface temperatures (GMST) with real local historical sea levels.

The use of GMSL and GMST, as these graphs show, does little to inform the public of the radical volatility of  sea level in local areas.

I mean that in the sense that a local area is real, it floods, and it becomes damaged by SLC (The King of King Tides Approaches).

The global mean average is a mathematical tool, but is not a proper way of informing the public because it covers up reality whether intended or not.

Anyway, when one asks the question "why is a town on the west coast experiencing serious sea level fall (SLF) while the other is experiencing serious sea level rise" (SLR)?

Journalists near one of those locations seem to have no clue as to why serious sea level volatility is taking place (Alaska Dispatch News).

I guess it is the global mean normal.
