Perhaps we do need to make a change regarding cell_methods. I suppose these
will be climatological statistics, with climatology bounds instead of ordinary
time bounds. We want to use "mean/minimum/maximum within days" in cell_methods,
and then we need to indicate what processing is done "over days". That's when
the threshold is applied, so perhaps cell_methods should say "count over days".
That means a new method to be listed in Appendix E - quite a simple change.

What do you think? Jonathan
