I'm the lead NASA scientist for the satellite missions that measure global sea level rise from space. All opinions are mine.

After years of La Niña conditions in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, scientists predict that El Niño is likely coming. Recent sea level data shows Kelvin waves rippling across this region, and these waves often act as a precursor to El Niño: https://t.co/jdLTXcsKH0

“This coming year is gonna be a wild ride if the El Niño really takes off," says @omgnasa

Nature - Record temperature combined with an anticipated El Niño could devastate marine life and increase the chances of extreme weather.

Got to see some more of the fjords around Nuuk and collect some more data with Mike Wood and @Lorenz_Meire today. Another beautiful day here! #science #climate

How much is the ocean causing glacier melt-back in Greenland? @NASAJPL @omgnasa Dr Josh Willis provides an update on the https://t.co/2dVtZX0FNO project that's revealing how sea water is interacting with Greenland's largest glaciers!

Since OMG ended Mike Wood and I have been working with @Lorenz_Meire from the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. Today we are deploying this APEX float to monitor ocean conditions in the fjord north of Nuuk #omgnasa #climate #GINR

The rising oceans measured by satellites. Sea levels have gone up globally by over 9 centimeters in 30 years and the rate of rise has more than doubled in that time. #sealevelrise #NASA

Average global sea level rose by 0.11 in (0.27 cm) from 2021 to 2022, according to @NASA. That’s like adding water from a million Olympic-size swimming pools to the ocean every day for a year and is the latest in a multi-decade trend of rising seas.

Thirty years of satellite observations help scientists understand the drivers of rising sea levels.

Not only is global sea level rising, but the rate has doubled over the past 30 years as we continue to add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

@NASA's #OMG mission, which recently completed 6 years of surveying Greenland's coastline, provided ice sheet and subsurface ocean temperature data for @NOAA’s annual Arctic report card. Learn more about the mission:
