“Relative sea level along the contiquous U.S. (CONUS) coastline is expected to rise
on average as much over the next 30 years (0.25 – 0.30 m over 2020-2050) as it has
over the last 100 years (1920 - 2020).”
This would give sea level rise 0.83 cm/year – 1.00 cm/year.
Assumption is below calculation that this sea level rise remains constant.
Sea level rise 7.4 m would take time from 7.40*100*cm*year/1*cm = 740 years to
7.40*100*cm*year/(0.83*cm) = 892 years.
(time estimate for example Greenland ice melt would rise sea level 7.4 m and
this would take time 740 – 892 years)

“3.3 mm/year“
“This is 30% more than when NASA launched its first satellite mission to measure
ocean height in 1992.”
(12.7.2022 taken from the net)
This would give 2.31 mm/year in 1993 and 3.3 mm/year in 2020,
(2020-1993 = 27 years).
Acceleration = a = change in velocity / change in time =
a = (0.99 / 27) *mm/year^2 = 0.036666666 mm/year^2.
Sea Level height would be a simple formula h = (1/2)*a*t^2, where unit of t is years and
unit of h is mm.
Assumption below calculation is that acceleration a remains constant.
7.4 m = 7400 mm = (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 635 years.
(time estimate for example Greenland ice melt would rise sea level 7.4 m and
this would take time 635 years)
1.0 m = 1000 mm = (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 234 years.
0.5 m = 500 mm = (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 165 years.
0.3 m = 300 mm = (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 128 years.
0.2 m = 200 mm = (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 104 years.

CORRECTION: One term v*t added to the formula due approximation fit to the satellite measurement picture.

Sea Level Rise (copy parts of the text below in “ “ ):
“Global Mean Sea Level from 1993 to 2020 has been rising about 3.3 millimeters per year.
This number is calculated by averaging sea surface height data from a series of satellites:
TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, OSTM/Jason-2 and Jason-3. The data is recorded continues with
the launch of Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich. (Credit: NASA).”
“Global sea level is rising approximately 0.13 inches ( 3.3 millimeters) a year“
“That’s 30% more than when NASA launched its first satellite mission to measure
heights in 1992.”
(12.7.2022 taken from the net and also .PNG snapshot picture was taken.)
This would give 2.31 mm/year in 1993 and 3.3 mm/year in 2020,
(2020-1993 = 27 years).
Acceleration = a = change in velocity / change in time =
a = (0.99 / 27) *mm/year^2 = 0.036666666 mm/year^2.
Velocity = v = change in height / change in time =
v = 3.3 mm/year
Global Sea Level height would be approximated roughly by a simple formula
h = v*t + (1/2)*a*t^2,
where unit of t is years and unit of h is mm.
Assumptions below calculation are that acceleration a and velocity v remain constant.
7400 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 551 years.
(time estimate for example amount of Greenland ice melt would rise global sea level 7.4 m
and this would take time 551 years ?)
Some other random global sea level rise values and corresponding time estimates:
1000 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 160 years.
500 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 98 years.
300 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 66 years.
200 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 48 years.
100 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 26 years.
50 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 14 years.
10 mm = 3.3 mm/year*t + (1/2)* 0.036666666 mm/year^2*t^2, would give t = 3 years.
