A chart datum is the water level surface serving as origin of depths displayed on a nautical chart and for reporting and predicting tide heights. A chart datum is generally derived from some tidal phase, in which case it is also known as a tidal datum. [1] Common chart datums are lowest astronomical tide (LAT) [1] and mean lower low water (MLLW).
The World Ocean. For example, the Law of the Sea states that all of the World Ocean is "sea", [8] [9] [10] [b] and this is also common usage for "the sea". Any large body of water with "Sea" in the name, including lakes. River – a narrow strip of water that flows over land from a higher elevation to a lower one
Still-water level or still-water sea level (SWL) is the level of the sea with motions such as wind waves averaged out. [6] Then MSL implies the SWL further averaged over a period of time such that changes due to, e.g., the tides, also have zero mean.
Over geologic time sea level has fluctuated by more than 300 metres, possibly more than 400 metres. The main reasons for sea level fluctuations in the last 15 million years are the Antarctic ice sheet and Antarctic post-glacial rebound during warm periods. The current sea level is about 130 metres higher than the historical minimum.
Over three months, rats were fed water that had been exposed to boiling water in plastic containers at different intervals: 1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes, and then examined.
