sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_earth_tide m [ULAA] P07 id: CFV10N35
The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. Tides are a significant contributor to the observed sea surface height; earth tide means the solid earth tide.

"Sea surface height" is a time-varying quantity. Amplitude is the magnitude of a periodic variation modelled by a sinusoidal function. A coordinate variable of harmonic_period should be used to specify the period of the sinusoidal wave. The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. Tides are a significant contributor to the observed sea surface height; earth tide means the solid earth tide.
