Description
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?

Research direction
Review how sampling categories are currently represented, especially the existing monthly and :other options. Determine how centurial or decadal samples that preserve seasonal months should be identified, and document the chosen classification and its expected behavior.
