Drivers of coastal sea level variability along the east and south of South Africa by Nhantumbo, Bernardino João

“…In addition, the results have suggested that the studied coastal sea level has an association with the Agulhas Current at both sub-annual and interannual timescale through absolute dynamic topography variations at the Agulhas Current core locations. …”
