Very good. Is this an arbitrary local reference datum? I think that would be the right name, if so. If it's the geoid or some tide level, I think that should be indicated in the name. That's because quantities with these different datums do not differ by a constant, and could not be regarded as the same geophysical quantity, so should have different standard names.
