title: Sea level at southern california: a decadal fluctuation.
abstract: The winter mean height of sea level at southern California rose 5.6 centimeters between the periods 1948-1957 and 1958-1969. These periods correspond to two fairly coherent large-scale climatic regimes with different air-sea coupling, which were previously identified. The rise was mainly due to a change in the thermohaline structure of the water as a result of changes in prevailing winds.
