👀 An eye-opening visualization of global sea level rise from NASA gives new insight into a complex symptom of climate change. A 21-day average of sea surface height anomalies show ocean eddies and currents as imaged by NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. Red and orange colors indicate where the sea surface was higher than normal and blues indicate where it was lower than normal. NASA explains, "As ocean water warms, it expands and takes up more space. The added heat in t

It's hard to "see" sea level rise by just looking at the ocean, but its effects are very real. A new video covers some of the basics. Related story: https://climate.nasa.gov/blog/2974/cant-see-sea-level-rise-youre-looking-in-the-wrong-place/ Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech | NASA Climate Change
