Not exact matches
Throughout the altimeter era, it has been recognized that sea level rise is not constant but varies considerably about the background trend, with the largest of these departures coinciding with the warm and cold phases of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) such as in 1997 — 1998 (Fig. 2).
Several other satellite altimeters have also been launched, and the data from these have been used to estimate global mean sea level trends since 1993.

Since 1993, an even higher sea level trend of about 2.8 mm / yr has been measured from the TOPEX / POSEIDON satellite altimeter.
The regional sea level trends are derived from a linear fit of the altimeter sea level maps for the global ocean.
Since 1992, sea level observations from satellite altimeters at millimeter accuracy reveal a global increase of ~ 3.2 mm year − 1 as a fairly linear trend (Fig. 4), although with two main blips corresponding to an enhanced rate of rise during the 1997 — 1998 El Niño and a brief slowdown in the 2007 — 2008 La Niña.
