An Updated Analysis of Long-Term Sea Level Change in China Seas and Their Adjacent Ocean with T/P: Jason-1/2/3 from 1993 to 2022

This study analyzes sea level changes (SLCs) in China seas and their adjacent ocean (CSO) using data from the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1/2/3 satellite altimetry missions from 1993 to 2022. A 30-year time series of sea level anomalies (SLAs) is established, with trends, spatial distribution, and peri...

description This study analyzes sea level changes (SLCs) in China seas and their adjacent ocean (CSO) using data from the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1/2/3 satellite altimetry missions from 1993 to 2022. A 30-year time series of sea level anomalies (SLAs) is established, with trends, spatial distribution, and periodicities analyzed through least squares linear fitting, Kriging interpolation, and wavelet analysis. The average yearly sea level rise in the CSO is 3.87 mm, with specific rates of 4.15 mm/yr in the Bohai Sea, 3.96 mm/yr in the Yellow Sea, 3.54 mm/yr in the East China Sea, and 4.09 mm/yr in the South China Sea. This study examines the spatiotemporal variations in SLAs and identifies an annual primary cycle, along with a new periodicity of 11 years. Utilizing 30 years of satellite observation data, particularly the newer Jason-3 satellite data, this reanalysis reveals new findings related to cycles. Overall, the research updates previous studies and provides valuable insights for further investigations into China’s marine environment.
