Short summary
This study presents a new method to improve the accuracy of sea level height from the Ieodo Ocean Research Station in the East China Sea. The method helps identify data errors, such as repeated or unusual values, and flags extreme weather events. The analysis found that sea level rise is mostly due to ocean mass changes, with local ground subsidence also playing a role. These high-quality data support research on short- and long-term events, helping coastal monitoring and planning efforts.
