Research and revamp sea level rise
Hello @leeyap -
The Hector sea level rise code is here, and uses a relationship described in Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009). Our goals for this task are to:
- [x] Read V&R2009 to understand its method
- [x] Research developments since then. I'm pretty sure there's been some criticism of V&R2009 and new/improved simple models to approximate SLR; what are they?
- [x] Does our current C++ code make sense? Let's audit it. This will also be a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with a few basics of the language
- [ ] If there's a new and better approach to switch to, please summarize (pros and cons, data requirements) so that we can discuss implementation
- [ ] If we are switching to a new algorithm, code in R and/or spreadsheet for testing
- [ ] Implement in C++ code (per our discussion this morning, this step may be you or me)
- [ ] Test - provide full diagnostics of SLR under all scenarios, with overlaid IPCC bands (or something like that)
- [ ] Merge into
land_tracking(v3)
Sounds good? Any questions? This is obviously a bigger task than many of your previous ones; we'll talk and assess progress, but I'd certainly expect this to take several weeks to several months of your time.
Thank you!
@bpbond the Kopp et al. 2016 semi empirical sea level calculation is a good simple model that might fit nicely in Hector - equation 10. We've coded it up here to convert a vector of temperatures to SLR. Happy to chat more!
