Hello Jeff,

I have asked our senior scientist which one to use to describe the predicted water level and he suggested that we use: sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_equilibrium_ocean_tide

Thank you all very much,
Mohamed

Mohamed, do any of the names suggested below meet your needs?

Some tide effects on sea surface heights elevations are captured by:

sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_earth_tide

sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_equilibrium_ocean_tide

sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_geocentric_ocean_tide

sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_non_equilibrium_ocean_tide

sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_pole_tide

Perhaps you will find what you need here, otherwise they probably need to be extended?..

Objet : [CF-metadata] CF name for predicted water level?

Hello-

One of our data providers, CO-OPS (NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services) provides water level measurements and predictions. For the real-time measurements, we use the CF Standard Name water_surface_height_above_reference_datum. What name should be used (or added) for the predicted levels? I believe the predictions are based on tides and other factors, rather than being model-generated forecasts. I have CCed two of the CO-OPS people on this message.
