Hi.

We have a dataset that contains a climatology giving the daily average temperature over 30 years. (So, it has the average temperature for January 1 over the period from 1981 - 2010.) I have two questions about this.

1) How exactly should that be represented, both with the bounds and with the cell_methods? Should the bounds be (for example) 00:00:00, Jan 1, 1981 and 00:00:00 Jan 2, 2010? Should the cell_methods be "time: mean over days time: mean over years"?

2) How should we handle February 29?

Grace and peace,

Jim
