Description 191-200
Sea level records over a period of 15
years (1980-1994) along the Saudi coast of the Arabian
Gulf have been analyzed. The sea level changes, being dominated by
a seasonal signal, are spatially coherent over the study area. The short term

changes are characterized by
large irregular amplitudes during winter, while summer variations are
relatively small and uniform. An inverted barometer response close to the
isostatic hypothesis (-1 cm mb-1) holds for both short term and
seasonal variations. The study also reveals that over this
particular period the sea level exhibits an increasing trend of 0.17 cm y-1
which is in agreement with the worldwide accepted value.
