I think the OP's question really is:
should one use a different standard name for a predicted, rather than a
measured, quantity?
I think the answer is no, as I've seen all sorts of model output without

Dear CF group:
Thank you for your time in discussing this matter.
I would counsel you *not* to make wholesale changes to existing names just
because IOOS needs names for water levels that may or may not be measured in
the ocean! Replacing 'sea_' with something else seems like it would break
Thank you for the discussion and current status regarding
