Implication

Randomized trial analyzes extreme sea levels in coastal areas of China, revealing significant increases and correlations with tidal range.

Key Points

This study aims to analyze long-term changes in extreme sea levels along the China coast and their relationship with mean sea level and tide characteristics.
Analyzed tide gauge and multi-source data for the period 1980-2024.
Examined correlations between extreme sea levels and mean tidal range.
Assessed rates of extreme high and low sea level changes.
China coastal sea level increased at rates of 3.5 ± 0.3 mm/year (1980–2024), 4.0 ± 0.3 mm/year (1993–2024), and 4.7 ± 0.4 mm/year (2005–2024), p < 0.05.
Approximately half of tide gauges showed an extreme high sea level rise exceeding 4.6 mm/year during 1980–2024.
There is a significant correlation between extreme sea level changes and mean tidal range (p < 0.05), especially in areas with large tidal range.
