Data sets

Sea level daily gridded data from satellite altimetry for the global ocean from 1993 to present Copernicus Climate Change Service https://climate.copernicus.eu/sea-level

The Climate Change Initiative Coastal Sea Level Team, 2020; a database of coastal sea level anomalies and associated trends from Jason satellite altimetry from 2002 to 2018 SEANOE https://doi.org/10.17882/74354

ERA5: Fifth generation of ECMWF atmospheric reanalyses of the global climate ECMWF, 2017 https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp\#!/home

Short summary

This study provides for the first time estimates of sea level anomalies very close to the coastline based on high-resolution retracked altimetry data, as well as corresponding sea level trends, over a 14-year time span. This new information has so far not been provided by standard altimetry data.
