Global sea level increased 1 million olympic pools Nasa analysis full report

Global warming, rapidly melting arctic and other reasons are increasing the level of sea around the world. It has been told in a report that from the year 2021 to 2022, an average increase of 0.11 inches (0.27 cm) in the global sea level was observed. This is enough water to fill one million Olympic-sized swimming pools every day for a year. Based on satellite data, the US space agency NASA has made this assessment.

NASA’s Report As per the observation of sea surface height was started in 1993. According to NASA’s Sea Level Change Science Team, an increase of 3.6 inches (9.1 cm) in sea level has been recorded so far. The researchers’ data show that global sea level rise was 0.08 inches (.20 cm) per year in 1993, which has increased to 0.17 inches (0.44 cm) per year in 2022. Accordingly, global sea level rise is expected to reach 0.26 inches (0.66 cm) per year by the year 2050.

These figures indicate that the sea level is rising all over the world and the cities near it are at risk. In a study last year, NASA told It was predicted that America’s coastline could sink up to a foot in the next 20-25 years. In these coasts, the Gulf Coast, the coast of Southeast and Southwest were mentioned some areas ie areas like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and Virginia are going to suffer major seawater tragedy. It was said in the study that in the coming 30 years the sea coast of America will become watery.

A similar estimate can be made for other countries as well, whose cities are situated near the sea coasts. NASA uses two satellites to collect its data. They will continue to collect information till the year 2030. Apart from NASA, the World Meteorological Organization has also expressed the danger of rising sea level due to global warming. According to him, between 2013 and 2021, there has been an increase of 4.5 mm in sea level every year.
