Hi Richard

I see no responses yet on prior art for this concept, perhaps it is not widely 
used in CF-netCDF.

If that is the case, may I suggest that a new standard_name is required to 
label such a coordinate?

perhaps
  data_cut-off_time
  s
  A datetime which defines the instant after which observational data for a
  forecast run is no longer included in that forecast, which may be different
  from the forecast_reference_time.

Please would the community provide a little feedback on whether this would be 
suitable for inclusion into the standard_names table?

thank you
mark

Subject: [CF-metadata] GRIB2 data cutoff

Hi everyone,

As a little “light relief” from the versioning discussion...

Does anyone have any prior art for representing the GRIB 2 concept of 
“hours/minutes of observational data cutoff after reference time” (as expressed 
in product definition template 4.0) within CF-netCDF?
