2008-1993: “Global sea level has risen about 3 millimeters (0.1 inch) a year since Topex/Poseidon (on the left) began its precise measurement of sea surface height in 1993 and was followed by Jason-1 in 2001. In this graph, the vertical scale represents globally averaged sea level. Seasonal variations in sea level have been removed to show the underlying trend” (NASA).
