Historical and projected variability of sea surface height and temperature: A novel downscaling approach

Puntos clave

• Sea surface height and temperature variability is markedly affected by climate change and associated factors.
• Historical trends indicate significant fluctuations in sea surface temperature, which influence ecosystem dynamics.
• Assessment using a novel downscaling approach offers enhanced accuracy in climate projections and local impacts.
• Identifying variability patterns can support future climate adaptation strategies and resource management.
