Satellite Altimetry Reveals Spatially Heterogeneous Sea-Level Rise, Mesoscale Variability, and Increasingly Frequent Extremes in the East Sea (Sea of Japan), 1993–2024: Dokdo in Regional Context

The East Sea (Sea of Japan) is a semi-enclosed marginal sea with an energetic mesoscale eddy field along the Tsushima Warm Current and its subpolar front. Unlike prior point reconstructions of Dokdo sea level, we use 0.125° gridded satellite altimetry (DUACS, 1993–2024) to map the spatial structure of the basin’s rise,...
