Abstract We have investigated the sea level rise (SLR) in the Southern Levantine region of the Mediterranean Sea during the period 1993–2015 using satellite altimetry and tide gauge data. Satellite altimetry indicated a positive SLR with a mean of 3.51 ± 0.62 mm/year, which is slightly higher than the global averaged mean SLR that was reported about 3.19 ± 0.63 ( Chambers et al., 2017 ). The rates of vertical land motion (VLM rate) have been estimated from the trend of de-seasoned sea level difference (altimetry minus TG) time series at the 6 selected TG sites. Land subsidence was found to occur at three stations along the Nile Delta coast (Rosetta, Burullus and Damietta) and at one station in Israel (Hadera). Most of the previous studies in the Mediterranean Sea indicated that there are no sufficient tide gauge data in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Sea. So, this investigation offers valuable sea level information that can be applied in a wide range of climatology, related environmental issues, for example; land subsidence, inundation, and global warming in the southern Levantine basin.

从南黎凡特盆地的高度计和潮汐计测得的海平面变化和垂直陆地运动

摘要 我们使用卫星测高仪和潮汐仪数据调查了 1993 年至 2015 年期间地中海南部黎凡特地区的海平面上升 (SLR)。卫星测高显示正 SLR，平均值为 3.51 ± 0.62 毫米/年，略高于全球平均 SLR，据报道约为 3.19 ± 0.63（钱伯斯等人，2017 年）。垂直陆地运动的速率（VLM 速率）已根据 6 个选定 TG 站点的淡化海平面差异（测高减去 TG）时间序列的趋势进行估计。在尼罗河三角洲沿岸的三个站点（罗塞塔、布鲁勒斯和达米埃塔）和以色列的一个站点（哈德拉）发现地面沉降。以往在地中海的大部分研究表明，地中海南部和东部没有足够的潮汐测量数据。因此，这项调查提供了宝贵的海平面信息，可应用于广泛的气候学、相关环境问题等；黎凡特盆地南部的地面沉降、洪水和全球变暖。
