Abstract

In 1985 the Intergovernmental Océanographie Commission (IOC) published its Manual on Sea Level Measurement and Interpretation (Manuals and Guides No . 14 UNESCO) . This new publication is complementary to the previous version, extending and updating the material on measurements. Several detailed reviews of interpretation of sea level data have been published since 1985 e.g. IPCC 1990.
