Hello Glenn,
I am afraid "sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_earth_tide" won't fit your needs.
Basically it is used to represent some tidal effects that one should remove to sea surface measurements from satellites. You can read more details on that topic here <
http://earth.eo.esa.int/brat/html/alti/dataflow/processing/geophys_corr/ocean_tides_en.html> and in the Wahr (1985) paper here <
http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/1985/JB090iB11p09363.shtml> .
I remember we started a discussion on that topic a couple of months ago, where Jeff de La Beaujardi?re suggested the introduction of the quantity "water_surface_height_above_reference_datum". Perhaps it is quite close to what you need?
Best regards,
Olivier.

Objet : [CF-metadata] Standard Names - Tidal properties
Hi,
I am trying to describe data that represents tidal depth properties gathered by a fixed-station sub-surface water pressure guage. I have noted the CF Standard Name "sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_earth_tide" and was wondering what this is supposed to represent, as the description is a little confusing to me.
Kind regards,
Glenn Comiskey
