Hello all. I'd agree that choosing available standard names for tide gauge related data hasn't been obvious.
My comment is that tide level is a special type of vertical reference datum but one that that isn't unique. For example, subtracting a published tide prediction from observation data is not identical to applying harmonic analysis to that same data set. Thus a name like 'sea_surface_height_above_tidal_level' makes sense, but would best go along with attribute/s such as 'reference tide source' or 'authority' or 'tide correction method'.
