  abstract = {{A} dedicated reprocessing of satellite altimetry data from the {J}ason-1/2/3 missions in the world coastal zones provides a large set of virtual coastal stations where sea level time series and associated trends over 2002-2021 can be estimated. {I}n the {G}ulf of {M}exico, we obtain a set of 32 virtual coastal sites, well distributed along the {G}ulf coastlines, completing the tide gauge network with long-term data that is currently limited to the northern part of the {G}ulf. {A}ltimetry-based coastal sea level time series and associated sea level trends confirm previous published results that report a strong acceleration in tide-gauge based sea level rise along the {US} coast of the {G}ulf of {M}exico since the early 2010s. {I}n addition, our study shows that this acceleration also takes place along the western and southern coasts of the {G}ulf of {M}exico. {T}he coastal sea level trends estimated over 2012-2021 amounts to similar to 10 mm/yr at most virtual stations. {W}e note a slightly smaller rise on the western coast of {F}lorida and at two sites of the {C}uba {I}sland. {G}ood agreement in terms of sea level trends over 2002-2021 is found between coastal altimetry data and tide-gauge records corrected for vertical land motions. {G}ood correlation is also found between coastal altimetry and tide gauge sea level time series at low-frequency time scales, with interannual fluctuations in sea level},
