Much of my career has been spent dragging understanding out of tide gauge records. A key to this is recognising limitations of the framework through which we evaluate sea levels. In an era where much of the hard work is done by processing packages, there is a need for greater understanding of what sea level measurements are meaning, to ensure correct analyses are applied.
Three of my favourite references, each resting on a huge depth of research, provide some key messages about diversity of sea level processes, and how sea levels are a partial expression of oceanographic processes.
