Hello-
I am a new subscriber. We are hoping to adopt CF names wherever possible in the
context of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Sensor Observation
Services (SOS). Not all phenomena we measure have immediately apparent CF
names, however. We are using this URL as a reference:
http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/standard-name-table/current/cf-standard-name-table.html
The first example is total water column height as derived from a bottom
pressure recorder associated with a tsunami warning buoy. This is not
sea_surface_height_above_reference_ellipsoid or _above_sea_level. It might be
height_above_sea_floor but we're not really sure what that refers to (height of
what?).
Is there a standard name present or planned that is equivalent to
total_water_column_height?
Thanks for any information,
Jeff DLB
