Source states: "This graph shows cumulative changes in sea level for the world’s oceans since 1880, based on a combination of long-term tide gauge measurements and recent satellite measurements. This figure shows average absolute sea level change, which refers to the height of the ocean surface, regardless of whether nearby land is rising or ...
The global average sea level has risen about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) since 1880. [1] Sea surface height change from 1992 to 2019: Blue regions are where sea level has gone down, and orange/red regions are where sea level has risen (the visualization is based on satellite data). [2]
Baart et al. (2012) show that it is important to account for the effect of the 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle before acceleration in sea level rise should be concluded. [25] Based on tide gauge data, the rate of global average sea level rise during the 20th century lies in the range 0.8 to 3.3 mm/yr, with an average rate of 1.8 mm/yr. [26]

A chilling animation from Nasa shows how far the sea level has risen in the past 30 years. “As the planet warms and polar ice melts, our global average sea level is rising,” Nasa wrote ...
English: Observed and projected changes in global mean sea level for 1800–2100. The boxes on the right show the very likely ranges in sea level rise by 2100 (relative to 2000) corresponding to three different RCP scenarios. The lines above the boxes show possible increases based on newer research of the potential contribution to sea level ...
Based on current pledges, global mean temperature is projected to increase by +2.7 °C, which would cause loss of about half of Earth's glaciers by 2100 with a sea level rise of 115±40 millimeters." Graphic shows: glacier mass loss on horizontal axis; sea level rise on vertical axis; fraction of glaciers forecast to be lost using the blue rings
These are coupled with oceanic models to simulate climate variability and change that occurs on different timescales due to shifting ocean currents and the much larger heat storage capacity of the global ocean. External drivers of change may also be applied. Including an ice-sheet model better accounts for long term effects such as sea level rise.
