Dear All,
Thanks for all your responses.
I think that the best solution so far is to use the existing
"sea_surface_height_correction_due_to_air_pressure_and_wind_at_high_frequency",
even if I'm quite unsure about the "_at_high_frequency" part... (I'm
still waiting an answer of our scientists about that)
Therefore, there is no need to change the meaning of "_anomaly"

St?phane Tarot
