Coastal zones have large social, economic and environmental values. They are more
densely populated than the hinterland and concentrate large economic assets, critical …

The city of Venice and the surrounding lagoonal ecosystem are highly vulnerable to
variations in relative sea level. In the past∼ 150 years, this was characterized by an average …

Given the considerable range of applications within the European Union Copernicus
system, sustained satellite altimetry missions are required to address operational, science …

Satellite radar altimetry provides a unique sea level data set that extends over more than 25
years back in time and that has an almost global coverage. However, when approaching the …

Sea-level variations spread over a very broad spectrum of spatial and temporal scales as a
result of complex processes occurring in the Earth System in response to natural variability …

EOT20 is the latest in a series of empirical ocean tide (EOT) models derived using residual
tidal analysis of multi-mission satellite altimetry at DGFI-TUM. The amplitudes and phases of …

Coastal regions (including estuaries and deltas) are very complex environments with
diverse hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphological contexts and with important socio …

We examine the issue of sustained measurements of sea level in the coastal zone, first by
summarizing the long-term observations from tide gauges, then showing how those are now …

Sea state data are of major importance for climate studies, marine engineering, safety at sea
and coastal management. However, long-term sea state datasets are sparse and not always …

In the coastal ocean zones, satellite altimetry data processing and interpretation poses
specific difficulties, due to the interaction of the radar signal with land topography …
