The Sea Level Monitoring Project was initially developed in the early 1990's (known at that time as the South Pacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project) as a response to concerns expressed by South Pacific Forum Leaders about the potential impacts of global warming on sea levels and climate in the South Pacific. This Australian aid project was established with the goal of providing an accurate, long term record of sea levels in the South Pacific both for Forum countries and for the international scientific community that need such information to better understand how the Pacific oceanographic and meteorological environment is changing. During the 1990's a network of high resolution sea level and climate monitoring stations was established in the South West Pacific and observations from those stations were made available to stakeholders. In 2001, a Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS) monitoring component was added and CGPS instruments were established near and linked to the sea level tide gauges stations in all partner countries so as to enable the measurement of vertical land movements. Vertical land motion at sea level stations can be equal or larger than the local absolute sea level signal, thus masking sea level change related information recorded at those stations. Therefore, the CGPS network is a crucial component for reliably determining absolute sea level change. This document reports the analysis results of CGPS coordinate time series from 2001 to 2013.
