Global sea levels jumped due to El Nino and warming climate, says NASA

Subida destacada del nivel del mar en 2023

El nivel medio mundial del mar aumentó aproximadamente 0,76 centímetros de 2022 a 2023, un salto relativamente grande debido al calentamiento del clima y al desarrollo de un fuerte El Niño. Este análisis dirigido por la NASA se basa en un conjunto de datos sobre el nivel del mar que incluye más de 30 años de observaciones satelitales, comenzando con la misión franco-estadounidense TOPEX/Poseidon, lanzada en 1992. La misión Sentinel-6 Michael Fre…

The average rise in ocean levels was 0.76 centimeters in one year, mainly due to the El Niño phenomenon and climate change, according to NASA.

Nasa: Global sea level jumped due to El Nino and climate change

WASHINGTON, March 22 — Global average sea level rose by about 0.3 inches (0.76 centimeters) from 2022 to 2023 — nearly four times the increase of the previous year — Nasa said yesterday, attributing the “significant jump” to a strong El Nino and a warming climate. The Nasa-led analysis is based on more than 30 years of satellite observations, with the initial satellite launching in 1992 and the latest in 2020. Overall, sea levels have risen by a…

“The current pace means we are on track to add an additional 20 cm to the global ocean level by 2050,” Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer said in a statement.

The average rise in global ocean levels was 0.76 centimeters between 2022 and 2023, a “significant jump” compared to other years.
