Global sea levels jumped due to El Nino and warming climate, says NASA
- The rate of global average sea level rise has more than doubled from 0.07 to 0.17 inches per year since 1993.
- El Nino weather events cause temporary spikes in sea levels due to excessive rain entering the ocean.
- Global sea levels have increased by around four inches since 1993, with accelerating rates of rise expected in the future.

NASA announced that the average sea level in global ocean basins reached 0.76 centimeters between 2022 and 2023, a 'significant increase' compared to recent years, due to the 'Ninja' phenomenon and climate change. These numbers are based on satellite tracking data. Primarily, this is due to climate change, which is visible through sea ice melt (icebergs and river ice), but also through ocean expansion due to heat absorption. Sea level rise is oc…
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.
Between 2022 and 2023, the average sea level rise reached 0.76 centimeters, according to NASA, which highlights the acceleration of the phenomenon.
