Section 4 - Template 1101 : Hovmöller-type grid with averaging or other statistical processing Preliminary Note: This template is simply experimental, was not validated at the time of publication and should be used only for bi-lateral previously agreed tests. (Octets 35-50 very similar to octets 43-58 of PDT 4.8, but meaning of some fields differs slightly)

( 1) Hours greater than 65534 will be coded as 65534.
( 2) Reference = reference time (section 1) + forecast range (PDT) + offset and increments from reference time (GDT).
( 3) An increment of zero means that the statistical processing is the result of a continuous (or near continuous) process, not the processing of a number of discrete samples. Examples of such continuous processes are the temperatures measured by analogue maximum and minimum thermometers or thermographs, and the rainfall measured by a rain gauge.
