ATLANTIC_CH05_Product_5 / Spatial layer of relative annually averaged sea level trend (in mm/year) for period of 50 years

This product attempt to follow up on the sea level rise per stretch of coast of the North Atlantic, over 50 years as follows:

• Characterization of absolute sea level trend at annual resolution, along the coasts of EU Member States (including Outermost Regions), Canada, Faroes, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Morocco, Norway and USA;

The stretchs or coast are defined by the administrative regions of the Atlantic Coast:

• from NUTS3** administrative division for EU countries (see Eurostat), and

• from GADM*** administrative divisions for non-EU countries.

** Third level of Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics

*** Global Administrative Areas

For relative sea level trend for 50 years we extract the information from coastal tide gauges data available at each stretch of coast, if there is not a tide gauge there is a data gap. The product is Provided in tabular form and as a map layer.

Purpose: This characteristic handles the ability to follow up on the sea-level rise per stretch of coast of the North Atlantic (* ie. including North-East Atlantic, USA, Canada and Ooutermost Rregions), over 50 years, to assess whether the current available marine datasets are available and appropriate to the use case, as well as to indicate gaps in the current EU data collection framework.

This EMODnet Atlantic Checkpoint data product (the "Product") is the result of a "challenge" stress test specified by the call for tenders No MARE/2012/11. The challenge partners ( "the producer") were commissioned to perform a number of tests to evaluate marine data according to set user requirements. This product and any resultant data and metadata produced is a consequence of these tests and provided for interest only. The Product is provided on an "as is" basis, and the producer disclaims any and all warranties, conditions, or representations (express, implied, oral or written), relating to the Product or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any and all implied warranties of quality, performance, suitability orfitness for a particular purpose to the full extent permitted by law.

The Producer and the Atlantic Checkpoint partners accept no liability for loss suffered or incurred as a result of reliance on the Product or any output of its use. The Producer shall not be liable for any economic loss, loss of profit, loss of business or contract, depletion of goodwill or otherwise, in each case whether direct, or indirect or any indirect loss whatsoever (howsoever caused) including loss or damage suffered as a result of an action brought by any person which arise out of or in connection with the use of the Product or inability to use the Product

Resource constraints

Use limitation: Limited: The product fails in most aspects to meet the objectives but meet some.

Use limitation: It was only possible to produce an average annual relative (to the land) sea-level rise trend for 50 years for only some stretch of coast required thanks to the existence of some long-term sea level tide gauges with enough temporal resolution. Input data is available in a well-documented format. The limitation is that there is not a tide gauge for all the stretches of coast (i.e. administrative divisions), and some of the time series are shorter than 50 years. Moreover, it has been assumed the value of a single tide gauge to all the length of the stretch of coast.
