According to State of the Climate 2013, global average sea level 2013 was 1.5 inches (38 mm) above the 1993-2010 average, the highest yearly average in the satellite record (since 1993), and sea level continued rising at a rate of one-eighth of an inch (3.2 mm) per year.atellite altimeter data gathered from 1993 to 2003 indicate that the rate of global average sea level rise increased to 3.1 mm per year, or about one and a quarter inches per decade.
Coastal land underwater with sea level rising. As global temperatures rise, the oceans warm slightly and expand, ice caps and glaciers melt, and more precipitation falls as rain instead of snow. This causes sea levels to rise. Most climate change models forecast a global sea-level rise of half a meter (over 1Â½ feet) by 2100. Globally, sea levels rose four to ten inches in the last century. Researchers expect sea levels to continue rising. With over 2,300 miles of marine coastline, much of Washingtonâs population lives, works, and thrives in coastal areas.
