👋 @ghislainp, thanks for this question. Are you able to determine which specific dates are missing prior to writing the recipe? If so, you could employ a pattern like this:...

I see. If I understand correctly, you would ideally like arrays of NaNs (or some other filler value) in place of the empty dates, so that the dataset chunking remains...

Noting that https://github.com/pangeo-forge/cesm-atm-025deg-feedstock/issues/2 would benefit from a similar feature (failing gracefully in the case of missing files).

Notes from the coordination meeting today: - @martindurant mentioned that the Intake community is considering separating the backend reader component (perhaps there is a better descriptor for this) from that...

(Changed issue name per https://github.com/pangeo-forge/staged-recipes/issues/58#issuecomment-870157435.)

Would love to listen in on this brainstorm.
