Figure 2

Time series of monthly relative sea level (RSL) data at the tide gauge in Cartagena for time spans 1952–2019 (a), 1993–2019 (b), and 2000–2019 (c), after being pre-processed to remove extremes and reconstruct gaps. (d) We include the absolute sea level trend (ASL) from 2014 to 2019 obtained after subtracting the GPS subsidence rate at the tide gauge. This new trend (4.17 ± 0.05 mm/yr) represents the steric component of RSL in Cartagena (d, red line with yellow highlight). We also show linear trends in RSL (blue) and data with a low-pass cosine-Lanczos filter and a cut-off period of 28 days (red) (see “Methods”). Data from the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC, https://uhslc.soest.hawaii.edu/) and the Oceanographic and Hydrographic Research Institute (CIOH) in Cartagena. Tide gauge plots generated by Matlab 2019b (https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html).
