Dear all

"realization" is fine as a standard name. I had forgotten we had introduced it.
I withdraw my suggestion of ensemble_member_identifier.

Thus, the standard name (of realization) can be used to identify an ensemble
axis. I think that providing an axis attribute as well could be helpful: with
spatiotemporal axes we have both methods of identification, and it is possible
there might be ensemble axes in which realization was a not a good choice of
standard name.

Best wishes

Jonathan
