ProFSea
(pronouced “pro-fe-see”)
The Met Office’s modular, accessible, and *fast* sea-level rise simulator based on statistical emulations of physical modelling experiments and lines of evidence from the IPCC and across the literature.
ProFSea makes complex sea-level rise simulations easy and efficient. All you need is global mean surface temperature and ocean heat content forcing anomalies, using any baseline period, and you’re good to go.
We simulate sea-level change contributions from:
Antartic Ice Sheet 🇦🇶
Greenland Ice Sheet 🧊
Glacier melt 🏔️
Thermal expansion 🌡️
Landwater ⛰️
Quick Install#
ProFSea is available as a Python package. To install it:
pip install profsea
Note
ProFSea relies on standard scientific libraries including numpy, xarray, and dask. Check the User Guide for detailed dependency requirements.
