  abstract = {{F}or nearly 30 years, space-based radar altimetry has been routinely measuring changes in sea level at global and regional scales. {B}ut this technique designed for the open ocean does not provide reliable sea level data within 20 km to the coast, mostly due to land contamination within the radar echo in the vicinity of the coast. {T}his problem can now be overcome through dedicated reprocessing, allowing the retrieval of valid sea level data in the 0-20 km band from the coast, and then the access to novel information on sea level change in the world coastal zones. {H}ere we present sea level anomalies and associated coastal sea level trends at 756 altimetry-based virtual coastal stations located along the coasts of {N}orth and {S}outh {A}merica, {N}ortheast {A}tlantic, {M}editerranean {S}ea, {A}frica, {N}orth {I}ndian {O}cean, {A}sia and {A}ustralia. {T}his new dataset, derived from the reprocessing of high-resolution (300 m) along-track altimetry data from the {J}ason-1, 2 and 3 missions from {J}anuary 2002 to {D}ecember 2019, allows the analysis of the decadal evolution of coastal sea level and fills the coastal gap where sparse sea level information is currently available. {S}ea level trends at decadal timescales within 20 km of the world's coastlines can be determined for the period 2002 to 2019 through dedicated reprocessing of high-resolution along-track altimetry data.},
