@DikraK you are correct that this information can at the moment not be encoded in the cell methods. Your request is rather timely since we are discussing similar issues in cf-convention/discuss#131, but no consensus on how to add this to the conventions has been reached yet. If you want to put

Hi @zklaus, thanks a lot for all the valuable information you provided. I may have missed something but I still cannot find how to add the information on the percentile values across the 25 fields. In [Appendix
