Abstract
For the region of Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysia’s Sabah-Sarawak northern region of Borneo Island, long sea level records do not exist. In such case the Atmospheric-Oceanic Global Climate Model (AOGCM) projections for the 21st century can be downscaled to the Malaysia region by means of regression techniques, utilizing the short records of satellite altimeters in this region against the GCM projections during a mutual observation period. In this case study on the assessment of sea level change along the coastlines of Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah-Sarawak, the spatial variation of the sea level change is estimated in time by assimilating the global mean sea level projections from the AOGCM simulations to the satellite altimeter observations along the subject coastlines. Details of this case study were presented in Ercan et al. (2013) at Hydrol Process, 27(3):367–377.
