Apparently the Meteorological Service of Britain does it still differently and does not use automatic measurement but takes manual readings twice a day and creates the daily average by ( M a x + M i n ) / 2 {\displaystyle (Max+Min)/2} {\displaystyle (Max+Min)/2} and the argument is that comparison with observations from before the computer era must be made. | == [[User:Sfws|Sfws]] ([[User talk:Sfws|talk]]) 10:42, 17 April 2021 (UTC) == | ||

'''(max + min) / 2 estimator usage''' | |||
I disagree with the continuous usage of the named average because: | |||
#it is not internal to CumulusMX | |||
#comparison with historic series should be accomplished by statisticians and not by maintaining ancient calculation methods. An example of this method exists in the Netherlands. It is is not up to Cumulus to maintain usage of the old calculation method. | |||
Continued fall back in discussions for the usage of (Max + Min)/ 2 is confusing as if you are saying it is '''better''' then the Cumukus method. In the discussion on Temp Sum it even became the definition of Temp Sum which definitely is wrong. | |||
We are talking about different estimators for the average of which the 'integral method' is native to CumukusMX. It is not the responsibility of CMX to supply comparison valid values. | |||
I modified the fragment (removed @sfws striked text) and added a link to the scientific article by the KNMI on the homogenisation of different series of temperature measurement. | |||
NOTE: | |||
#is it possible to send a message if a watch page is talked about? | |||
#is it possible to send a message when a watched page is changed by somebody not yourself? | |||
#how do i get the signature below this text | |||
#how can i quote with a reference | |||
Last two point because @sfws had that in the discussion starter. | |||
I am beginning to understand how the wiki works and that i am supposed to read the watch list. There should be a short instruction for new users! | |||

As said before, the only administrator, on this Wiki, with good Wiki knowledge, is user [[User:saratogaWX|SaratogaWX]]. | |||
From my limited knowledge, here are some answers: | |||
*There should be a short instruction for new users! | |||
**Above and below the table on the [[Original Cumulus Wiki|original Main Page]], there are links to short instructions | |||
<br> | |||
#is it possible to send a message if a watch page is talked about? | |||
#*On [[Help:Contents]], it says an email is sent telling you when an entry is saved. | |||
#*As administrator, I can see ''unwatched'' pages, but no more watching information | |||
#*As administrator, I can see your gmail account, but I cannot discover where you have added "Watch". | |||
#is it possible to send a message when a watched page is changed by somebody not yourself? | |||
#*On [[Help:Contents]], it says an email is sent telling you when your page has been edited. | |||
#how do I get the signature below this text | |||
#* Use multiple tilde <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to add you user name, or more tildes <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki> to add date/time, you could have discovered that from links on the [[Original Cumulus Wiki|original Main Page]]; | |||
#**[[Help:Contents]] is linked above table, | |||
#**and [[How_you_can_contribute]] is linked below the table. | |||

Dear @sfws, your implicit assumption that if information is written somewhere it is also found and read, is incorrect. I do my best but reading Joyce's Ulysses has less links and sirens. | |||
However, thanks for the pointers. I don't receive emails when the pages are changed - e.g. this page which I definitely watch - and apparently that is not good so I'll contact SaratogaWX. | |||
