This article on RealClimate about sea-level predictions: https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2021/05/why-is-future-sea-level-rise-still-so-uncertain/
almost casually mentions: * gravitational, rotational and deformational (GRD) effects and then proceeds to say very little more about it: Furthermore, one important factor in how WAIS will affect sea level is how fast the lithosphere will respond to changes in the ice loading (part of the GRD effects mentioned above). Googling tells me that the "GRD" concept was introduced in 2019 by this paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332757282_Concepts_and_Terminology_for_Sea_Level_Mean_Variability_and_Change_Both_Local_and_Global I guess that's where the geophycics of "missing" or even negative leap-seconds live now. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
