Dear Olivier > I appreciate the idea suggested by Philip, which is remove 'local' and simply > use "tendency_of_average_sea_level_change". I think it's a fine solution.
I'm sorry to say I still have concerns with this: * Why is "average" needed? As Philip said, we usually convey that idea in the cell_methods, which can distinguish if necessary between a local point measurement e.g. "lat: lon: point" and an area-average "lat: lon: mean" or "area: mean". Or does "average" refer to the time-mean? * "Sea level change" is not well-defined. Could you say more precisely what this quantity is, if it is not change in ocean thickness (that was my guess)?
