Dynamic Meters
In oceanography, this refers to the pressure associated with a column of water.

Specific Volume Anomaly (10^-8)
(Or anomaly of specific volume; also called steric anomaly; symbol δ.) The excess of the actual specific volume of the seawater at any point in the ocean over the specific volume of seawater of salinity 35 psu and temperature 0°C at the same pressure. The integral of specific-volume anomaly with depth is the dynamic-height anomaly.
