Good morning  
I think that adding the geometric average in the queries would be a good idea, since the arithmetic average is often not fair. Often the points (for example the pressure) have very distant values ​​in some points and do not give the exact idea of ​​the majority data. What do you think?  
Thanks  
Giovanni
