Because of the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of anthropogenic sea level rise(SLR), it is very important to understand the processes leading to past and present SLRs towards more reliable future SLR projections. A regional ocean general circulation model(ROGCM), with a grid refinement in the Bohai, Yellow, and East China Seas(BYECSs), was set up to project SLR induced by the ocean dynamic change in the 21 st century. The model does not consider the contributions from ice sheets and glacier melting. Data of all forcing terms required in the model came from the simulation of the Community Climate System Model version 3.0(CCSM3) under the International Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)-A2 scenario. Simulation results show that at the end of the 21 st century, the sea level in the BYECSs will rise about 0.12 to 0.20 m. The SLR in the BYECSs during the 21 st century is mainly caused by the ocean mass redistribution due to the ocean dynamic change of the Pacific Ocean, which means that water in the Pacific Ocean tends to move to the continental shelves of the BYECSs, although the local steric sea level change is another factor.
