Hello @JimBiardCics : sorry for my confusion. I thought the idea was to make it possible for people to encode information relative to a TAI time. At the moment declaring a CF calendar as `julian` or `gregorian` changes the interpretation of the reference time and I though we were discussing something similar here for TAI, i.e. defining one calendar with fixed calendar days of 86400 seconds and a 2nd calendar in which some calendar days have an extra second.
If this is not your proposal, I'm afraid I still don't understand what it is that you are proposing. I would like to keep the idea of having a calendar with a fixed 86400 second day in discussion, because I believe this is what the climate modelling community use and it will provide a route to reducing confusion about leap seconds make it possible to encode this information precisely. -- You are receiving this because you commented.
