- global_average_sea_level_change
- unit [m]

a function only of time, zosga is the total change in global mean sea level,
relative to some fixed distance from the center of the earth, due to
thermosteric changes, water flux input from land/glaciers/atmosphere, and
salinity influences on density. If the model cannot be trusted to provide
estimates of the water flux input from land/glaciers, there is no need to
report zosga (since salinity influences are of secondary importance and the
thermosteric contribution is reported by zostoga). Note that to good
approximation the difference between zostoga and zosga yields the global
mean change in sea level due to water budget imbalances (presumably,
resulting largely from changes in glacial mass). Please note in the
"comment" attribute any assumptions or methodological details related to
calculation of this time-series.
