Abstract
The analysis of sea-level variability along West Africa has been hampered by the limited length and,quality of tide-gauge records. Ghana is the only country along the West African coast with relatively,long sea-level records available.,In this study we aim on characterizing the large-scale climate forcing that drive mean sea-level,variability at and off the coast of Ghana and study its decadal variability and long-term trends in the,observational period.,For this purpose, available sea-level information (referred from tide gauges, satellite altimetry,,gridded reconstructions and ocean model simulations) will be statistically analyzed together with,meteorological data from reanalysis products and climate model simulations. The main large-scale,climate factors driving regional mean sea level at these timescales will be identified and quantified.
