acoustic level Physical quantity of sound measured, usually expressed in decibels | akustisk nivå |
background level Term used in a variety of situations, always as the constant or natural amount of a given substance, radiation, noise, etc. | bakgrunnsnivå |

rising sea level Sea level rises are a possible consequence of global warming. As the amount of free water in the ocean increases, and as the water becomes warmer, global warming will increase. In addition, according to theory, the heating at the poles may reduce the amount of water trapped in glaciers and ice caps. By the year 3000, the seas could rise between one and two metres. Such an event would clearly threaten low-lying areas, particularly in Asia, where million of people live and farm on river deltas and flood plains | havnivåstigning |
sea level The level of the surface of the ocean; especially, the mean level halfway between high and low tide, used as a standard in reckoning land elevation or sea depths | havnivå |
sea level rise Sea-level rises are a possible consequence of global warming. As the amount of free water in the oceans increases, and as the water becomes warmer, global warming will increase. In addition, according to theory, the heating at the poles may reduce the amount of water trapped in glaciers and ice caps | havstigning |
sound level The sound pressure level (in decibels) at a point in a sound field, averaged over the audible frequency range and over a time interval | lydnivå |
trophic level Any of the feeding levels through which the passage of energy through an ecosystem proceeds; examples are photosynthetic plants, herbivorous animals, and microorganisms of decay | trofisk nivå |
vegetation level A subdivision of vegetation characteristic of a certain altitude above sea level at a given latitude | vegetasjonsnivå |
