Hi.

I have a time series of monthly averaged values. I have an integer-valued time coordinate variable and an associated time_bounds variable. Is it correct to use the 15th of February and the 16th of all the other months for my time centers, or should I use the 16th of every month?

Also, should I do anything differently if my data are climatological monthly averages (say, over 30 years of data)? And, in this case, should the time coordinate values be day numbers from the beginning of the 30-year time interval, the end of the time interval, or something else entirely?

Grace and peace,

Jim Biard
