Abstract
This paper examines observed and filtered sea
level changes at the Fort Denison tide gauge site in
Sydney, Australia, in the context of decadal climate
variability as represented by the Interdecadal Pacific
Oscillation index. The strong climatic relationship
prompts the intermediate-complexity modeling and
analysis of the baroclinic transport anomalies in the East
Australian Current - the western boundary current of the
South Pacific Gyre – against the observed sea level
changes at Fort Denison. We find that the strength of
this relationship is both surprising and remarkable.
