| processing_note | See OMDP document for details. Report on native horizontal grid as well as on a spherical latitude/longitude grid. This is a regional subset of the variable. If you are producing the global equivalent of Omon.zosSouth30, you should omit this regional South30 version. The effective dynamic sea level as if sea ice (and snow) at a grid cell were converted to liquid seawater. The liquid-water equivalent sea surface which the liquid would have if the ice were replaced by an equal mass of sea water of the density of the surface water in its vicinity. Inverse barometer responses from sea-ice (and snow) loading are removed using equation H3 of Griffies et al, 2016 (https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-9-3231-2016). zos is a dynamic sea level should have zero global area mean. Ocean dynamic sea level is defined by Gregory et al. (2019: [doi.org/10.1007/s10712-019-09525-z](https://airtable.com/appqRFkdpwAitEZNY/tblxLKbWgySWunrpw/doi.org/10.1007/s10712-019-09525-z) ) |
