Monthly averages of tide gauge records from Cascais (1882-present), including data from the old analogue tide gauge (jan 1882 – oct 2003), data from the digital acoustic tide gauge (nov 2003 – jun 2019) and data from the digital radar tide gauge (jul 2019 – present). Data from the new digital tide gauges (in Cascais Marina), as of november 2003, are corrected for the vertical movement of the support structure, based on high-precision geometric leveling measurements
Reference in the Portuguese Vertical Datum (Cascais1938, relative to the average of the period 1882-1938).

MSL variation in the offshore of the Iberian Peninsula west coast, between 35.9º and 44.2º latitude north and -16.5º and -8.5º longitude east (1993-2022). In this western section of the Atlantic Ocean the SLR rate as doubled, having increased from 2.6 mm/year to 5.9 mm/year between the periods 1993-2009 and 2009-2022.

Global MSL components: 1) Altimeter_GMSL is the total volumetric component of Global Mean Sea Level eustatic variation given by Satellite Altimetry of the Topex/Poseidon and Jason 1, 2 and 3 missions (contribution of ocean mass and steric components); 2) OceanMass_SLR is the increase in oceanic mass measured through the GRACE satellite missions (1st mission and Grace Follow-on mission); 3) Steric_SLT is the oceans thermal expansion measured with the ARGO floaters network; and 4) Sum of both OceanMass_SLR and Steric_SLR components.
