A UNIFIED ISOSTATIC DATUM AND ITS APPLICATION IN SEA LEVEL CHANGE RESEARCH

The necessity of establishing a Unified Isostatic Datum (UID) for studying the sea levelchanges along the coast of China is discussed in this paper. A so-called Coastal Land Ver-tical Movement Isostatic Datum (CLVMID) is established based on precise releveling dataperformed from the 1950s to 1980s and some coniunction releveling data with tide stations.All the data consists of about 250,000 km releveling lines and covers the whole mainland ofChina. As examples, datum corrections for sea level changes derived from two tide stationsand recent crustal vertical movement in the Yangtse Delta area relative to the datum aregiven to explain the significance of the isostatic datum in the research of the sea levelchange trend.     

统一均衡基准及其在海面变化研究中的应用

本文论述了为研究近代中国沿海海面变化而建立统一基准的必要性。应用50年代至80年代全国25×10~4km精密水准复测资料和验潮站联测资料,建立了沿海陆地垂直运动均衡基准。通过对两个验潮站得到的海面变化所作的基准订正,和长江三角洲地区在此基准下的近代地壳垂直运动,说明统一的均衡基准在研究海面变化趋势中的意义。
