Dear all,

I need help for 'Example 7.8. Climatological seasons'.
This should be:
'average seasonal-minimum temperature for the four standard
climatological seasons MAM JJA SON DJF'.

dimensions:
  time=4;
  nv=2;
variables:
  float temperature(time,lat,lon);
    temperature:long_name="surface air temperature";
    temperature:cell_methods="time: minimum within years time: mean over
years";
    temperature:units="K";
  double time(time);
    time:climatology="climatology_bounds";
    time:units="days since 1960-1-1";
  double climatology_bounds(time,nv);
data: // time coordinates translated to date/time format
  time="1960-4-16", "1960-7-16", "1960-10-16", "1961-1-16" ;
  climatology_bounds="1960-3-1", "1990-6-1",
                     "1960-6-1", "1990-9-1",
                     "1960-9-1", "1990-12-1",
                     "1960-12-1", "1991-3-1" ;

Where is the information that the intervals are 3 months (seasons)?
In the climatology_bounds the intervals are 30 years and 3 months.
In the cell_methods no interval information is given.

Best wishes
Heinke
