Comment (by markh):
I have considered a [wiki:Ticket107Text9Nov13CellMethods proposed text for
cell methods]. I think the intent is correct in this text but I think it
is a little too difficult to read.
With this in mind, I have prepared a [wiki:markhDataModelDraft#CellMethod
draft for the cell methods text] which I think conveys the same intent
with a little more clarity.
I am still not sure that the opening sentence:
''The cell methods construct describes the methods by which the data
values of the field construct represent variation within their cells.''
gives a good enough statement of purpose, but I am not sure how else to
put it. Are there further suggestions for how to explain the purpose of
cell methods?
The CF conventions for NetCDF state that cell methods are:
''to describe the characteristic of a field that is represented by cell
values''
I wonder whether introducing terms such as ''values aggregated over
cells'' or ''statistically aggregated values'' might help?
