Dear Martin Actually, I had a different interpretation of "interval" in cell_methods. I assume it refers to the spacing of the values before the "maximum" was calculated. Did I correctly understand that you had a (8-hour running mean) value for every hour? In one sense this is the resolution of the data. The 8-hour running mean is a kind of filter. I would say that the interval between the data was 1 hour also if they were instantaneous values at hourly intervals or consecutive 1-hour means.
I think we agree there is no difficulty in recording what was done in a human- readable non-standardised way. I think it would be "(interval: 1 hour comment: 8-hour running means at 1-hour intervals)". Do you have a need to distinguish in an *automated* way between this and cases when the hourly values were not 8-hour running means?
