This animation shows the rise in global mean sea level from 1993 to 2024 based on data from a series of five international satellites. The zeropoint in the graph is set to the start of 1993, and a 60 day Gaussian filter is applied to the data.

This NASA-led analysis is based on a sea level data set featuring more than 30 years of satellite observations, starting with the U.S.-French TOPEX/Poseidon mission, which launched in 1992. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich mission, which launched in November 2020, is the latest in the series of satellites that have contributed to this sea level record.
