Assignment:

Notice that in the graph you just uploaded, there is intra-annual variation in global average sea level. What this means is that within each year, sea level will rise and fall with the seasons. In each hemisphere the oceans warm and expand in summer, and cool and contract in winter. Thus the sea levels in each hemisphere are higher in summer and early autumn, and lower in winter and early spring. Overall, global average sea level decreases during the Northern hemisphere winter and increases during the Northern hemisphere summer. What happens on land during the Northern hemisphere winter that would prevent water from reaching the ocean, thus reducing sea levels?
