Unless I am mistaken, there is already a project that is looking into this from
a CF standpoint, at least for a small segment: 'point observation' data. I
guess it doesn't hit the target directly, but I think some of the discussions
may be relevant.
See enclosed email/links.

Subject: [CF-metadata] Working Group for Point Observation Conventions
We have a good number of people to begin work on a "Point Observation Data"
convention. The hob of the working group is to generate a proposal to be presented to the
CF committee.
If you are interested, send me an email, then go to
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/mailinglist/mailing-list-form.html
and subscribe yourself to the cf-pointobsconvention mail list.
All email of the working group will be publicly archived at:
http://mailman.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/cf-pointobsconvention/
You will want to be either interested in the nuts and bolts of netcdf and CF,
or have point/station/trajectory/profile/etc type data and want to find
standard/interoperable ways to write it to disk.
