Monthly timesampling: should it also be for centural+seasonal cycle?

[Datseris]

I am debating the following. Some people do a thing where they have decadal or centurial averages that also resolve the seasonal cycle. This means each data point is an average of a all included Januaries in a 100-year span, then all Februaries, etc. etc., and then after the cycle closes we have an average over all included Januaries of the next 100-years.

Now, the question is, how should we identify this kind of sampling? Should be a monthly sampling, or should it be :other?

not sure I am addressing the question correctly wrt ClimateBase.jl but monthly climatology is how most folks would call this I think. you can say monthly climatology for years 1 to 100 and so on.

I see, well then the answer to the original post is "yes". Since I'm not climate scientist by training, most "established conventions" i don't really know yet...
