1.8 CF Standard Names: Global Average Thermosteric Sea Level Change (global_average_thermosteric_sea_level_change)

Record Label : global_average_thermosteric_sea_level_change

Record Title : Global Average Thermosteric Sea Level Change

CF Standard Name : global_average_thermosteric_sea_level_change

Record Description : Global average thermosteric sea level change is the part caused by change in density due to change in temperature i.e. thermal expansion. This in turn results in a change in volume of the world ocean. Zero sea level change is an arbitrary level. Because global average sea level change quantifies the change in volume of the world ocean, it is not calculated necessarily by considering local changes in mean sea level.
