Hello-

One of our data providers, CO-OPS (NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services)
provides water level measurements and predictions. For the real-time measurements, we use the CF
Standard Name water_surface_height_above_reference_datum. What name should be used (or added) for
the predicted levels? I believe the predictions are based on tides and other factors, rather than
being model-generated forecasts. I have CCed two of the CO-OPS people on this message.

Regards,
Jeff DLB
