**Acknowledgements**

The authors want to thank the European Space Agency, which propelled the Climate Change Initiative to produce a climate quality record of sea level from satellite altimetry. Likewise, the authors express gratitude to the European Union for making available the satellite altimetry data record through the Copernicus Earth Observation Programme Services. The authors also want to acknowledge Centro Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree (CPSM) and Alvise Papa for providing tide gauge data under the CNR-ISP/CPSM technical–scientific collaboration agreement 2019–2022; the CNES distribution service AVISO+ for the dynamic atmospheric correction data; the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) for providing tide gauge and GPS data; CNR-ISMAR and Fabio Raicich for the time series of the Trieste tide gauge; PSMSL, national Oceanographic Centre, Liverpool, UK, for making available the tide gauge global record. The authors thank the SONEL Data Centre and the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory (NGL) for processing and making available the GPS trend global record. Finally, we acknowledge CPSM for funding the "Vento da Satellite+" project on the development of satellite data in storm surge forecasting; ESA who funded the "HYDROCOASTAL" project (ESA contract No. 4000129872/20/I-DT), and the "SL\_CCI Bridging Phase" project (ESA contract No. 4000109872/13/I-NB), from which some of the images in this chapter were adapted.
