Hello CF Folks, What is the CF guidance for climatological bounds when the statistics being generated are from data that are not uniformly spaced?
We're developing a climatology for nutrients such as dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate. These make use of sparse observations from as early as the late 1800s. Up until the mid 1900s the number of observations have been few and spaced out. Since then there has been a big spike in the number of nutrient observations. Since old observations are important, we would like to use them in generating stats and deriving climatologies. At the same time having climatological bounds beginning at 1875-01-01, gives a false sense of the scope/ temporal extent of the climatology. Is there a way to capture this information in either the bounds/ stats variable?
