on a regional scale: Trends and variability on the Northwestern European continental shelf

Decadal variability in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean sea level trends

The Mediterranean Sea, a semi-enclosed basin highly sensitive to climate change, exhibits complex variability in sea level trends with important environmental and societal implications. This study investigates the sea level rise decadal variability from 1993 to 2024 at sub-basin and coastal scales using satellite altim...

Anatomy of Interannual to Decadal Sea Level Changes in the GECCO3 Ocean Synthesis

The GECCO3 synthesis is used to infer a dynamically consistent decomposition of sea level changes (variability and trends) on interannual to decadal time scales. Over most parts of the global ocean equatorward of 60° latitude, sea level variability and trends can be explained almost completely by the upper ocean (abo...

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversib...

Spatiotemporal Variability and Large‐Scale Drivers of Storm Surge Extremes on the Northwestern European Shelf

Extreme Sea Level (ESL) poses a high risk to coastal communities and infrastructure, with its frequency and intensity projected to increase in the future. In this study, we focus on the storm surge component of sea level variability, a key contributor to extreme still water levels during storms. The spatiotemporal va...

THE INFLUENCE OF SEA ICE ON PRIMARY PRODUCTION IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN: A SATELLITE PERSPECTIVE

Global Distribution and Decadal Trends of Coastal Marine Cold Spells: Insights From an Ensemble of Satellite Sea Surface Temperature Products

Marine cold spells (MCSs) exert severe impacts on coastal ecosystems, yet global assessments in coastal regions, which host diverse and complex marine systems, remain limited. Here we integrate four satellite sea surface temperature (SST) products to quantify the spatial distribution and decadal trends of coastal MCS...
