Dear John > However, im not sure what this sentence in 7.4 means: "When > considering intervals within days, if the earlier time of day is > equal to the later time of day, then the method is applied to a full > 24 hour day."
It doesn't matter in the instantaneous case, but it does matter for statistics that apply to the whole cell, like means and accumulations, such as > precipitation:cell_methods="time: sum within days time: mean over days"; If the sums were for 24-hour intervals, the bounds might be > climatology_bounds="2008-08-01T00:00Z", "2008-09-01T00:00Z", Here, the time of day is the same (00:00Z) at both ends. That means it applies to full days. That's what the bit quoted is talking about. However, this doesn't arise in your six-hourly case.
