Relationships between sea level (Ht) and the cumulated temperature anomaly formula image and between Ht and the temperature anomaly (Tt). The panels present the same relationship between raw (small, light grey points) and smoothed and binned (large, dark grey points) data. The lines and ribbons correspond to linear regression and confidence intervals estimated for smoothed and binned data, and they have been included to illustrate the expected sign of a hypothetical linear relationship between the variables. Note that, in both refs. and , the effect of these variables on sea level was the opposite sign than that shown here.
