Roj475. May I suggest you research how NASA claim to know sea levels with satellites and then tell me if it is possible to get it right to a millimetre

Either you are correct...., or the other poster is correct. I do not know, that is directed to you.

I have tried but I am unable to locate the source you are referring to.

Where do I find this claim you know information about, my life would be easier if I responded to the same source you used.

Its on NASA website.They claim to park a boat over a known depth and measure it with a transducer then a satellite sends a beam to the deck of the boat and then they work it out.The satellite could be between 9000-10,000 kms away which would affect the time and the deck could be moving.GPS satellites are calibrated to plus minus 100ft which is why sometimes it will tell you to do a U-turn and you are parked where you need to be.At the risk of being cynical if scientists set out to get a result they will get a result.Our CSIRO and BOM have been busted many times fudging numbers.Recently our BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) adjusted all the Alpine thermometers to not record below -10 yet it was -13.7 for a month at Thredbo.Thats 3.7 degrees gone for a month.In 20 years if I am still alive the question will be asked.Where is this apocalyptic warming?

duncan, do they stop the waves for the measuring?

Did they stop the waves for the establishment of the "known depth"?

If the depth has already been established, why bring in a satellite? What does that add? Are they trying to figure out the altitude of the satellite?

When did NASA begin concerning themselves with the ocean? Are they branching out into snorkeling, scuba diving and deep-sea diving? I thought that was the domain of the Navy Research Labs? Did NASA pull a coup d'état?

Consider me as calling a measure of boooooolsch't.

Waves impose the exact same problem in this scenario.

There is no certainty of the sea level in an absolute sense, only in a relative sense.

I believe the apocalyptic warming is:
1. real
2. in its nascent stages and growing
3. centered around my stove

I've seen it. I have heated frying pans with it that I will not rest on my head. I am convinced.

You are welcome to visit my world if you like. I am pursuing an experiment so
I can explain what the IPCC doesn't. As for myself, I don't need to be serious all of the time. Sometimes it's fun to mess with ITN.
An example is whe he said it's useless to compare summer and winter. This tells me that he's never been skiing at Stevens Pass or at Snoqualmie Pass. The difference between the two is that Stevens Pass has steeper runs while Snoqualmie Pass is more for the recreational skier.
Of course in summer instead of skiing there is hiking and mountain bike riding. So it is important to know the difference between the seasons. Even in summer the Cascades can have deep snow at elevation so it helps to know the difference between things.
As for the website, I own it.

And yet as a patriotic American you deny that George Washington waited for the Delaware river to thaw. He and his army had to wait until Christmas. It hadn't frozen solid enough to cross it on foot and they couldn't break the ice with boats because that would be too slow.
You deny American history while claiming to be a patriotic American. That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. Do you hate America that much?
Have you ever noticed that Christians do not associate the most famous military campaign of the Revolutionary War with Christmas and the birth of America? And as it turned out because it was much colder in that century that this one the break in the weather happened just in time for a Christmas crossing.

With measuring sea levels, there are ways to verify accuracy. Do you know where an oil platform is at sea? Those are usually mounted on the seafloor itself. If they move then there could be a serious oil spill.
Since they have those around the world they could bounce a signal of the top to verify a satellites calibration. And with mean sea level they use tubes in the water that rise above its surface. This allows for waves to roll past in one direction and then back out if near shore.
This allows for a consistent level of water to be monitored. Then the difference between peak high and low tide is measured. The average is the "mean" tide. And then when a satellite determines sea level at that location, they can verify it with physical measurements.

It's too easy to use stations around the world that monitor sea level. Satellites really aren't necessary. They have shown large waves that are over 300 miles long.
I mean when the oceans shift because of the Moon would you expect a small effect? Just is a lot of water that's being moved.

Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, which happened a long time before the British, or America. Everything that happened on Christmas since the birth of Jesus, is pretty insignificant, compared.

God gave you life. He gave you free-will. He never gave you any guarantee, that you should have a 'good' life, or entitled to everything you desire. That's where free-will kicks in. You make choices, do the work, and get rewarded. When you fail, you learn, stop crying like a little girl, get up, and try something different, hoping for better results.

Speech patterns are learned, not genetic. If you perceive your communication deficiencies, are linked to the way you speak, learn to do it differently. Your service related hearing loss can be compensated for, with the proper hearing-aid. There is a lot more to it than an amplifier. It's not just shoving a device in your ear, and you get perfect hearing either. You may need a specialist, therapy, to get you to a more functional level, than you keep complaining about. If you had lost a leg, do you think all they had to do, is to slap a prosthetic on, and you are ready to run a marathon? Takes months to learn to walk, without a crutch or cane, and not fall down, much. You don't get back what you lost. But, you can be taught to make use of what you still have.

No measurement is possible. The oceans aren't contained in a graduated cylinder on a lab bench. The water is dynamic, constantly moving. Tides, currents, waves, weather all effect sea level, all the time. Water is added and removed all the time. There is no way to measure those changes in real-time, to adjust any depth measurements.

Even high tide at the shores aren't consistent, day to day, year after year. Beach front properties would have suffered, and been torn down decades ago. In Florida, we have seawalls over a hundred years old, that still do a good job protecting properties from tide and storm surge. The aren't submerged either. Still plenty of sandy beach. The sand does need to be replace every couple years, but nothing new.

With high tides at the beach, you'll need to consider F = G(m1m2)/R2. Then you'll need to multiply that by a sinꝋ (theta). That will show how the Moon's position will cause it to have a decreased gravitational effect based on the angle to the Earth's surface.
If the Moon is orbiting the equator then the effect of its gravitational pull will decrease the further the effect is measured from the equator.
Also this increases the distance between the Earth and the Moon as well because it is the specific point on the Earth's surface that is being considered.

With high tides at the beach, you'll need to consider F = G(m1m2)/R2. Then you'll need to multiply that by a sinꝋ (theta). That will show how the Moon's position will cause it to have a decreased gravitational effect based on the angle to the Earth's surface.
If the Moon is orbiting the equator then the effect of its gravitational pull will decrease the further the effect is measured from the equator.
Also this increases the distance between the Earth and the Moon as well because it is the specific point on the Earth's surface that is being considered.


In a desperate need to show off, you of course missed the point. The ocean water never stands still, to be measured. Water is constantly added and removed do to evaporation/precipitation. The best we will ever get is a rough estimate. The Margin of Error to make claims of rising sea levels, or even that they are drying up.

No measurement is possible. The oceans aren't contained in a graduated cylinder on a lab bench. The water is dynamic, constantly moving. Tides, currents, waves, weather all effect sea level, all the time. Water is added and removed all the time. There is no way to measure those changes in real-time, to adjust any depth measurements.

Even high tide at the shores aren't consistent, day to day, year after year. Beach front properties would have suffered, and been torn down decades ago.

Excellent points. I would add that all land is also moving, both laterally (inches /year) as well as vertically (sinking and/or rising) due to incessant geological activity.

As Into the Night points out, there simply is no absolute reference point.

People tend to confuse the use of relative reference points with the ability to declare an absolute reference point. If I'm standing on a boat out at sea, sure, I can talk about the sea level relative to my boat, at any given moment, to a high degree of accuracy and precision. So can the guy on a different boat two miles further out, except his values will always differ from mine at any given moment. Meanwhile, a guy on the beach can survey for sea level with very precise equipment at that same time, and based on the tide and his fixed position, he can get very accurate numbers ... that also differ from mine, and that differ from those of the other guy on the other boat two miles further out.

No absolute measurements can ever be taken. There is no limit to the number of precise relative measurements that can be taken, and none will comprise any sort of valid absolute measurement.
