Hi Steve,
I think your suggestion has merit. One question is : Would your suggestion
make any other changes, eg to std_name modifiers or cell_methods?
If nothing else, it would be good to put something in the CF documentation that
explains what is going on, and why (perhaps along the lines of
Dear All,
I am currently working on a Trac ticket submission for handling of taxonomic
data in CF and thought I'd run an example past the list to make sure I've got
it right.
Jonathan suggested using a container variable analogous to geographic regions.
My interpretation of this would result

Steve,
I'd say we have a problem. I think your first-cut solution is probably too
minimalist, but it would be better than the current situation.
Grace and peace,

Dear Roy
Yes, I think you are right that it is useful to have the taxon as a dimension
because it allows you to put several of them in one variable, provided it's
the same quantity, with the same generic standard name. That is just like
bundling up timeseries from different locations into one data
Dear all

Hello Jonathan,
The reason that I used MAXT rather than TIME is that I am trying to follow the
point data conventions with the possibility of multiple time series (along the
INSTANCE dimension) of different lengths stored as padded rather than ragged
arrays in a single file. Your example is re
Jonathan,
You haven't been unclear about how we got into the state we are currently in.
We got to now by adding bits here and there as needs arose without always
thinking about the implications for the whole system down the road (which you
did a great job of describing). A lot of good work ha
