Dear Stephane I don't think "anomaly" is quite right here. It generally means the difference from a multi-year climatology. You mean the difference of SSH from the tidal prediction, if I understand correctly. That's a more specific concept which deserves a special name. Would sea_surface_height_above_tidal_level make sense (tide being a time-dependent level), for instance?
