Dear Andy, I agree with Jonathan that specifically referencing LAT in the Standard Name would be better. In the UK sea level community there is a tendency to use the term 'chart datum' when what is really meant is 'Admiralty Chart Datum', which is defined as LAT. Some other navies (e.g. Austr

Dear Andy Thanks for this, and to Roy for support. I agree, I think we've pretty much worked out what we mean now. Instead of chart_datum I would prefer that we had standard names mentioning the specific datums you want e.g. lowest_astronomical_tide, because it is more informative and reduces the

Hi Andy, Finally managed to check the detail of this proposal and agree with Jonathan that all now looks good. Cheers, Roy. Please note that I partially retired on 01/11/2015. I am now only working 7.5 hours a week and can only guarantee e-mail response on Wednesdays, my day in the office.

Dear Jonathon, Thanks for all the constructive inputs - this feels like we are getting somewhere :-) I'd be very happy with "non_tidal_elevation_of_sea_surface_height"; elevation references positive when SSH is increased but also acknowledges suppression of SSH with high pressure/negative surg
