Hello Roy. Essentially we are dealing with two types of data: 1.) water level time series for individual locations, e. g. at tidal gauge stations; and 2.) water level time series computed by numerical models working on unstructured orthogonal grids, where water level is e. g. computed for ea

Hello and thank you for asking! For adding new names, we request that you provide the proposed standard name, the definition, and the canonical units for each name to be added. This will help us be sure the names are appropriate and do not duplicate concepts already in the list. These names

Good day, We are currently developing software for the GOCE mission, called GUT: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/software-tools/gut/about-gut/overview In the processing and output of data we want to adhere to the CF conventions and therefore try to use the standard names approved.  However, fo

Hello Guenther, There is a lot here and so far I have just had time to look at your first proposed Standard Name. What I don't understand is the time context of your data. There are two high tides per day (or even four in places like the Solent), each of which has a different high water level

Preface It is suggested to introduce new standard names for several tidal quantities like (tidal) high_water, low_water etc. These are geophysical concepts and it would be not adequate to describe them with cell_methods and/or time bounds. --- 1.) tidal_high_water_level_above_sea_level [ m ]
