"Sea surface height" is a time-varying quantity. The thermosteric change in sea surface height is the change in height that a water column of standard temperature T=0°C would undergo when its temperature is changed to the observed value. The sum of the quantities with standard names thermosteric_change_in_sea_surface_height and halosteric_change_in_sea_surface_height is the total steric change in the water column height, which has the standard name of steric_change_in_sea_surface_height.
