| description | zos is the effective dynamic sea level as if sea ice (and snow) at a grid cell were converted to liquid seawater. 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. |
