- MISSVAL (now a global?)
- minimum allowed number, or proportion, of data points to calculate a percentile, which is relevant at least for index functions

andthresholded_percentile
- the
np.inf
and-np.inf
used to indicate "condition not met" in index functions first/last_occurrence et al. - "Instructions" for processing of global metadata (#36 (closed))? There are two main aspects to consider:
- basic functionality should be working before climix v.1.0 is released (cf. attempt in !72 (closed))
- progress on iris #3325 that now has been pushed to iris v.3.1
