In the real ocean that is not an observed quantity. While these simulations assimilate observational data, over most of the ocean surface these are basically sea surface temperatures, but surface heat loss depends also on air temperature, wind speed, humidity, radiation and cloud cover in complex ways, all of which are not accurately known.

Because of the way the climate and ocean systems respond to heat-trapping emissions, sea levels will continue to rise even after air temperatures stabilize. So, even in a future scenario where the world achieves the stabilization of air temperatures, the Earths oceans and cryosphere (frozen regions like Antarctica ) will continue to adjust.
