Land points should be set as missing values.

Computation of daily average depends on the model (e.g. it can be a direct model output or computed one from instantaneous values at 0, 6, 12 and 18Z etc)

  1. Remark: The parameter "Average potential temperature in the upper 300m" [C] (151164) exists.  Should we add WMO def (daily mean!)?

    => 151164 is with Celsius what is not acceptable for WMO grib2
