報告：未來30年美國海平面將大幅上升

Sea levels along US coastlines will rise between 25 to 30 centimeters on average, above the current levels by 2050, according to a new interagency report published on Tuesday.

2月15日新公布的一份機構(gòu)間報告稱，到2050年，美國海岸線周圍的海平面將平均上升25到30厘米。

Coastal flooding will increase significantly over the next 30 years because of the rise, according to the report by an interagency sea level rise task force that includes NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other federal agencies. The report projects that the rise in ocean height in the next 30 years could equal the total rise seen over the past 100 years.
包括美國宇航局、美國國家海洋和大氣管理局和其他聯(lián)邦機構(gòu)在內(nèi)的一個機構(gòu)間海平面上升工作組預(yù)計，美國未來30年海平面將大幅升高，上升幅度或與過去100年的升幅相當。由于海平面上升，未來30年沿海洪水將顯著增加。
