Good question, Daniel!

Dear List,
If data in a file is of a specific feature type (time series,
trajectory, ...), only one feature type is allowed per file (Chapter
9.1. Features and feature types). Regularly gridded data (not ragged)
has no feature type. Is it allowed to have gridded data and data of
one feature type in a single file? Or is gridded data considered to
have an implicit feature type?
It might be reasonable to keep these two types of data separated in
different files to prevent misinterpretation of the one or other
variable. However, I cannot find a passage in the CF Conventions that
explicitly prohibits it.
Cheers,
Daniel
