Comparative study on sea-level rise in the Yangtze River Estuary and Red River Estuary in the recent 30 years.

ABSTRACT: Sea-level rise with its impacts on coastal areas has become one of the most important topics. The Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) and Red River Estuary (RRE) are the most sensitive regions to climate change but locating in temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, respectively. However, there is few comparative studies between sea level change in estuaries affected by different climatic and dynamic conditions. Using long-term satellite altimetry data combined with sea surface temperature (SST) and wind field data, this study analyzed temporal variations of sea level anomaly (SLA) and its controlling factors. The SLA in these two estuaries has shown a significant increase, with the rate in the RRE (3.6 mm/yr) being slightly higher than that in the YRE (3.4 mm/yr). Frequency spectra analysis in
