In the framework of the Coastal sea level project of the ESA Climate Change Initiative, a new coastal sea level product from the Jason-1, 2 and 3 missions over 2002–2018 has been made recently available. This product consists of along-track, high-resolution (20 Hz, i.e., ~350 m) sea level anomalies and coastal sea level trends derived from a complete reprocessing of the Jason altimetry data, including a retracking of the radar waveforms using the ALES (Adaptive Leading Edge Sub-waveform) retracker, in several coastal regions worldwide. In this study, we extend the assessment of this coastal sea level product in the Mediterranean Sea region by comparing with tide gauge data where available. We selected a set of 14 coastal sites where the distance between the Jason track at the coast is less than 30 km from a tide gauge for which the in-situ record at least partly covers the 2002-present time span. In a first part of this study, we compared the interannual variability and trends of the coastal sea level anomalies and of the tide gauge data. A good agreement is found between the altimetry-based sea level time series and the tide gauge data at interannual time scales. In terms of trends, the comparison also shows general good agreement within the respective uncertainties. In a second part of this study, we focus on the Senetosa site (south Corsica) where a significant altimetry-based sea level trend increase is observed in the last 3–4 km to the coast, and investigate which physical process could explain this trend behavior. We analyzed temperature and salinity data of the high-resolution (400 m) MARS3D model, available around Corsica over the January 2014 - December 2019 time span, and computed the steric sea level component and its trend along the Jason track. A clear steric sea level trend increase is found in the last 3–4 km to the coast. Although the MARS3D model does not provide outputs prior to 2014, we suggest that if the steric sea level trend increase found over 2014–2019 is a long-life time feature, it has the right amplitude to explain the altimetry-based coastal sea level trend increase observed at Senetosa.

地中海基于高度测量的沿海海平面的趋势和年际变化:与潮汐测量仪和模型的比较

在欧空局气候变化倡议的沿海海平面项目框架内,最近提供了来自 Jason-1、2 和 3 任务在 2002-2018 年期间的新沿海海平面产品。该产品包含沿航迹高分辨率(20 Hz,即~350 m)海平面异常和沿海海平面趋势,这些数据源自对 Jason 高度测量数据的完整再处理,包括使用 ALES 重新跟踪雷达波形(自适应前沿子波形)再跟踪器,在全球多个沿海地区。在这项研究中,我们通过与可用的潮汐测量数据进行比较,扩展了对地中海地区这种沿海海平面产品的评估。我们选择了一组 14 个沿海站点,其中海岸的 Jason 轨道与潮汐计之间的距离小于 30 公里,其现场记录至少部分涵盖了 2002 年至今的时间跨度。在本研究的第一部分,我们比较了沿海海平面异常和潮位计数据的年际变化和趋势。在基于测高的海平面时间序列和年际时间尺度的潮汐测量数据之间发现了很好的一致性。在趋势方面,比较在各自的不确定性内也显示出总体良好的一致性。在本研究的第二部分,我们重点关注 Senetosa 站点(南科西嘉岛),在该站点,在距离海岸的最后 3-4 公里处观察到基于高度测量的海平面显着增加趋势,并调查哪个物理过程可以解释这种趋势行为。我们分析了 2014 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间科西嘉岛周围可用的高分辨率 (400 m) MARS3D 模型的温度和盐度数据,并计算了空间海平面分量及其沿 Jason 轨迹的趋势。在到海岸的最后 3-4 公里处发现了明显的空间海平面上升趋势。虽然 MARS3D 模型不提供 2014 年之前的输出,但我们建议,如果在 2014-2019 年间发现的空间海平面上升趋势是一个长寿命特征,它有正确的幅度来解释基于高度测量的沿海海平面趋势在 Senetosa 观察到的增加。在到海岸的最后 3-4 公里处发现了明显的空间海平面上升趋势。虽然 MARS3D 模型不提供 2014 年之前的输出,但我们建议,如果在 2014-2019 年间发现的空间海平面上升趋势是一个长寿命特征,它有正确的幅度来解释基于高度测量的沿海海平面趋势在 Senetosa 观察到的增加。在到海岸的最后 3-4 公里处发现了明显的空间海平面上升趋势。虽然 MARS3D 模型不提供 2014 年之前的输出,但我们建议,如果在 2014-2019 年间发现的空间海平面上升趋势是一个长寿命特征,它有正确的幅度来解释基于高度测量的沿海海平面趋势在 Senetosa 观察到的增加。
