abstract = "The Brazilian Earth System Model (BESM-OA2.5), while simulating
the historical period proposed by the fifth phase of the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), detects an increasing trend
in the sea surface height (SSH) on the southern hemisphere oceans
relative to that of the pre-industrial era. The increasing trend
is accentuated in the CMIP5 RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 future scenarios
with higher concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
This study sheds light on the sources of such trends in these
regions. The results suggest an association with the thermal
expansion of the oceans in the upper 700 m due to a gradual
warming inflicted by those future scenarios. BESM-OA2.5 presents a
surface height increase of 0.11 m in the historical period of
18502005. Concerning future projections, BESM-OA2.5 projects SSH
increases of 0.14 and 0.23 m (relative to the historical 2005
value) for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively, by the end of 2100.
These increases are predominantly in a band of latitude within
35608S in the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The reproducibility of
the trend signal detected in the BESM-OA2.5 simulations is
confirmed by the results of three other CMIP5 models.",
