This color-coded map in Robinson projection displays a progression of changing global surface temperature anomalies. Normal temperatures are shown in white. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower than normal temperatures are shown in blue. Normal temperatures are calculated over the 30 year baseline period 1951-1980. The maps are averages over a running 24 month window. The final frame represents global temperature anomalies in 2023. || 2023GISTEMP_Map.00899_print.jpg (1024x576) [138.7 KB] || 2023GISTEMP_Map.00899_searchweb.png (320x180) [66.6 KB] || 2023GISTEMP_Map.00899_thm.png (80x40) [6.4 KB] || 2023GISTEMP_Map.00899_web.png (320x180) [65.9 KB] || 2023GISTEMP_Map_HD.mp4 (1920x1080) [57.2 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [64.0 KB] || 2023GISTEMP_Map.mp4 (3840x2160) [114.3 MB] ||

As the planet warms and polar ice melts, our global average sea level is rising. Although exact ocean heights vary due to local geography, climate over time, and dynamic fluid interactions with gravity and planetary rotation, scientists observe sea level trends by comparing measurements against a 20 year spatial and temporal mean reference. These visualizations use the visual metaphor of a submerged porthole window to observe how far our oceans rose between 1993 and 2023. ||
