a Total sea-level trend; b total steric; c thermosteric; d halosteric; and e manometric (SLA minus steric) trends. GIA corrections were applied to both SLA and manometric trends. At each grid point, mean and seasonal cycles were removed prior to trend estimation. All trends are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level except in areas marked with gray dots. The seven African LMEs are labeled as in Fig. 1.
