NASA scientist reports unusual sea level rise
NASA scientist R Steven Nerem at Goddard Space Flight Center reports two years of satellite data show an average annual sea level rise of 3.9 millimeters, about twice what tidal gauges show over a century. The study notes part of the rise may come from El Nino and part from climate change, with three to five years of data needed to assess acceleration.
