Record Title : Tidal Sea Surface Height Above Lowest Astronomical Tide
CF Standard Name : tidal_sea_surface_height_above_lowest_astronomical_tide
Record Description : "Sea surface height" is a time-varying quantity. "Height_above_X" means the vertical distance above the named surface X. "Lowest astronomical tide" describes a local vertical reference based on the lowest water level that can be expected to occur under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions. The tidal component of sea surface height describes the predicted variability of the sea surface due to astronomic forcing (chiefly lunar and solar cycles) and shallow water resonance of tidal components; for example as generated based on harmonic analysis, or resulting from the application of harmonic tidal series as boundary conditions to a numerical tidal model.
