Add global mean surface temperature as a Hector output #698

kdorheim commented 1 year ago

Right now Hector does not report global mean surface temperature as an output. It is possible to calculate this value using the sst and land air temperature. However, inorder to compare with historical values and IPCC reports, I have found myself calculating gmst time and time again. This makes me wonder if this should be an output reported by Hector instead of placing the burden on the user.

You're a pretty good test case, and agreed, if you're repeatedly calculating this makes sense.
