Existing climate model simulations overestimate future sea-level rise by up to 25%, new study shows

Scientists from Utrecht University using the national supercomputer at SURFsara in Amsterdam have found that the projected sea-level rise over the next century is about 25% lower than current models predict.Their new, higher-resolution climate model simulation reveals a slower ocean temperature increase than predicted by current models. The reason for this comes courtesy of ocean eddy processes, which were left out of many, lower-resolution mode…
