For the "trajectory" discrete sampling geometry, the data design pattern for 
the data and coordinate variables are:

data(index, observation)

x(index, observation)
y(index, observation)
z(index, observation)


The hurricane product grows with a new hurricane intensity value is added every 
30 minutes.

For this product, the simplest thing to do is increment the index for each new 
hurricane intensity value.  Given this the data and coordinate variables look 
like:

data(index)

x(index)
y(index)
z(index)

This looks like a "point" discrete sampling geometry even though it is a 
trajectory.

Would a hurricane intensity product designed like a point discrete sampling 
geometry but identified as a trajectory (cf_role = "trajectory_id") be in 
conformance with the CF conventions ?
