Short summary
The ability of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to extract multi-decadal variability from sea level records is tested using three simulations, based on sinusoidal oscillations and climate indices. In all cases, the longest-period modes are significantly distorted, with incorrect amplitudes and phases. This affects the estimated acceleration computed from the longest periodic IMF. Additionally, in all cases, extra low-frequency modes uncorrelated with the prescribed variability are found.
