Global mean sea level change from historic average 1990-2015

Several authors have studied the increasing sea level worldwide over the last century. These experts agreed on the accelerating rate of sea level rise in recent decades, which is widely associated to one of the effects of climate change. The study from Dangendorf et al. found a sea level rise in 2015 of around 49.52 millimeters higher than the historic average between 1992 and 2006. Satellite altimeters showed a measurement of 55.29 millimeters.

众多学者在过去一个世纪中研究了全球海平面的持续上升现象。这些专家们一致认为，近几十年来海平面上升速度呈加速趋势，这一现象普遍与气候变化的影响之一密切相关。Dangendorf 等人的研究指出，2015年的海平面上升幅度约为 49.52 毫米，高于 1992 年至 2006 年间的历史平均值。卫星测高仪的测量结果显示，上升幅度为 55.29 毫米。
