Dear Olivier I think
> 1. tendency_of_global_average_sea_level_change (m/year) > 2. tendency_of_sea_surface_height_above_sea_level (m/year) are both fine as proposed standard names. > 3. global_average_sea_level_change_amplitude (m) > 4. global_average_sea_level_change_phase (degree) also make sense, but I would suggest instead amplitude_of|phase_of_global_average_sea_level_change because "transformations" (like tendency_of) in the guidelines uses prefixes. It's easier to parse (in the sense of language) the names like that. Is that all right? I think that both of these standard names would need a mandatory coordinate (it could be a scalar coordinate) of harmonic_period (s) - that's my suggestion for a new standard name. In your case, the period would be one year. In addition, a phase would need a definition for zero. How should that be defined?
