evidence: There were also attempts to determine a possible acceleration in the sea level rise of the basin but their outcome are irreconcilable. Woodworth (1990) estimated decelerations for the majority of tide gauges located on the Baltic coasts using varying lengths of tide gauges from 1870 to 1981 [See Table 1(a) of the study for further information]. Donner et al. (2012) reported that there are decadal-scale accelerations and decelerations, using tide gauge data of varying lengths (1849–2006) but did not draw any solid conclusion. Stramska and Chudziak (2013) estimated the acceleration in the altimetry era and concluded that there is no statistically significant acceleration in the basin. Spada et al. (2014), on the other hand, reported a secular acceleration in the Baltic Sea and related it to isostatic adjustment. Hünicke and Zorita (2016) carried out a thorough investigation of the acceleration determination in the basin using multiple tide gauges and methods from 1900–2012. They found that although all-station-average-record yielded "almost statistically significant" acceleration, the individual estimations were statistically insignificant but positive for most of the tide gauges.
