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.
1 Global average sea level has increased 8 inches since 1880. 2  Several locations along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico have experienced more than 8 inches of local sea level rise in only the past 50 years. 3  The rate of local sea level rise is affected by global, regional, and local factors. Even if global warming emissions were to drop to zero by 2016, sea level will continue to rise in the coming decades as oceans and land ice adjust to the changes we have already made to the atmosphere.
