Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your standard name proposal for water column height and
thanks to all who have contributed comments to this discussion. The
consensus view seems to be that
sea_floor_depth_below_sea_surface
is an acceptable name for this quantity and that it is consistent with
the

Sea_floor_depth_below_sea_surface seems very appropriate when
the water depth is measured from the surface.
Some communities need to distinguish this measurement from one
made from the sea floor. Shipboard water depth measurements in the

Dear Jeff and Roy
I agree, it is arbitrary whether it is called
sea_floor_depth_below_sea_surface
or
sea_surface_height_above_sea_floor
and I agree with Roy that consistency with existing names would suggest
the former.
It's interesting that this kind of ambiguity hasn't arisen before. What you
Perhaps the infamous aliases would be an appropriate technique? I
seem to recall that aliases are considered OK in some cases in CF, or
am I remembering that incorrectly?
I like the idea of 'distance_between_sea_floor_and_sea_surface'
myself, rather than 'thickness_of_ocean' (though the
Dear John
Yes, good suggestion, we could adopt a new pattern vertical_distance_between_X
and_Y for cases where thickness sounds peculiar.
Aliases are really intended for cases where we make mistakes or change our
minds, rather than to provide synonyms deliberately. We've preferred to force

In general, when CF has a measured observable, the name makes no
statement about whether the variable has been measured
instantaneously, or for 1 hour, or for one month. It's time-neutral.
