The graph shows satellite-based estimates of sea level since 1992. Colored symbols show data collected by successive satellite missions. The average rate of global sea level rise is 3.2 millimeters per year, give or take 0.4 mm. The data shown here are one of multiple time series included in the report, all of of which show similar patterns. Graph adapted from Figure 3.27 in the BAMS’ State of the Climate in 2011.
