Dear all I agree with the view that we shouldn't be more restrictive about which year should be chosen for supplying climatological time coords. It is an arbitrary choice (in fact the coord is always arbitrary when the value applies to the entire cell, such as for a mean or a sum). The aim should be to be helpful to the data-users, who will probably use the coord for plotting the data. My preference is for the first year, since it's easiest to know which one that is!
