  abstract = {{T}he present communication discusses sea-level-rise trends in the north {I}ndian {O}cean, particularly off the {I}ndian coasts, based on estimates derived from satellite altimeter and tide-gauge data. {A}ltimeter data analysis over the 1993-2012 period reveals that the rate of sea-level rise is rather spatially homogeneous over most of the north {I}ndian {O}cean, reaching values close to global mean sea-level-rise trend (3.2 mm yr(-1)) estimated over the same period. {T}he only notable exception lies in the northern and eastern coasts of the {B}ay of {B}engal, which experience larger trends (5 mm yr(-1) and more). {T}hese recent trends derived from altimeter data are higher than those estimated from tide-gauge records over longer periods during the 20th century. {T}his communication calls for an improved understanding of the mechanisms behind this accelerated sea-level-rise recorded over the past two decades, that could either be a direct response to global warming or a result from an aliasing by the natural variability.},
