Sorry to be unclear. Let me try again. The default cell methods (`point` for 
intensive quantities, `sum` for extensive) are for a quantity which in 
principle has a single value within the gridcell, either exactly at the 
coordinate (for `point`) or being a property of the entire cell (for `sum`). 
All the other cell methods (`mean`, `median`, `maximum`, `standard_deviation`, 
`root_mean_square`, `mean_absolute_value` etc.) are statistics which are 
computed from the subgridcell variation of the quantity. Best wishes, Jonathan
