“…In the recent years, this data set has generated an abundant literature on the processes causing sea level change at global and regional scales, as well as on closure of the sea level budget (e.g., Church et al, 2013, Stammer et al, 2013, Dieng et al, 2017, Nerem et al, 2018, WCRP, 2018, SROCC, 2019. In addition to the global mean rise and superimposed regional trends, changes in small scale processes such as local atmospheric effects, baroclinic instabilities, coastal trapped waves, shelf currents, waves, fresh water input from rivers in estuaries, can substantially modify the rate of sea level change at the coast compared to open sea regions (Woodworth et al, 2019, Melet et al, 2018, Piecuch et al, 2018, Dodet et al, 2019, Durand et al, 2019. In addition, ground subsidence may amplify the rate of sea level change at the coast (Woppelmann and Marcos, 2016).…”
