As an argument in this discussion this chart was made to make the difference between the institutional method and the Cumulus Integral Method visible. What is shown is the Cumulus Method Daily Average Temperature (one minute sampling): <math>(\sum_{minute=1}^{1440} {(Temp\ measurement)) \div 1440}</math>, the <math>(Max+Min)/2</math> and the difference between the two. It is clear that the first is the more accurate estimator of the two sample estimator (note they both are estimators for the statistic <math>average temperature of the day</math>).
The difference has a pretty even distributed noise around the zero line so comparison with current ''integral'' with observations from the past (for climatic studies) should be possible with statistical proof and a consolidation of past and current measurements has actually been executed by the KNMI (reference?).
