Re: [CF-metadata] [cf-convention/cf-conventions] Clarification of requirements on calendar attribute of a bounds variable (#265)

@JonathanGregory, I don't agree. You are asking for robust enumeration for a redundant data feature that is recommended against using. This has already been cumbersome for building the current draft. There will be extra work to examine the several dozen other possible cases in Appendix A.

One minor point - the name for 1605752 should be just Synechococcus (it's the Genus - the Nägeli is part of the name reference for the taxon, not part of the Genus name. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub:

@fcarvalhopacheco I think you've got it!! You can certainly add three more taxa as you suggest - even 30 or 300 more taxa, preventing a massive propagation of new Standard Names that I feared would become unsustainable.. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Thanks, @roy-lowry for the reply! So we don't need to create anything new, we just need to use ``number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_in_sea_water`` as a single variable, including the``biological_taxon_name`` and the ``biological_taxon_lsid`` for each of our "variables"(see below) ###

Dear @Dave-Allured Which other attributes are "active"? It would be best to spell them out. I don't think it's too much to be cumbersome. Another way (but more work for you) would be to add some indication to the relevant attributes in Appendix A, instead of listing them explicitly here. That

@fcarvalhopacheco That is an invalid Standard Name as it includes a taxon name. What you need is an array with taxon as one of its dimensions containing the abundances with the Standard Name number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_in_sea_water. The taxon co-ordinate has two vectors with
