The Oceans are all connected to each other therefore scientists call them the global Ocean.
Scientists refer to the ocean water on Earth as the global ocean because it is one interconnected body of water that covers over 70% of the planet's surface. Despite being divided into different seas and oceans, they are all part of the same continuous body of water. Viewing it as one global entity helps scientists study its interconnected systems and processes.

Global Winds, Earth´s Rotation, and Water Temperature
Ocean water makes up about 71% of the Earth’s surface.
Landmasses divide Earth's global ocean into connected sections.
The five large areas of water on Earth's surface are called the oceans. These include the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern (or Antarctic) Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. Together, they cover about 71% of the Earth's surface and are essential for climate regulation, marine biodiversity, and global trade.
how does the earth's ocean of air and ocean of water interact
What could cause this is that with global warming the earth's total temperature is going up which causes the Ice bergs and caps to melt slowly. Over time the water adds up and increases the water level of the ocean.
Why scientists believe a liquid water ocean might exist on the moon Titan
Approximately 97% of the water on Earth is salty ocean water.
Global warming has the effect of increasing the water that is evaporated from the Earth's surface. This fills up the clouds and produces more rain and snow in humid areas.
