A time slice is a time series property. The integration time is shifted backwards or forwards from the time stamp (00:00:00) by the time offset. The term time slice is therefore used to describe a period of 24 hours, which, however, deviates from the regular "daily limits": Such a time slice is, for example, the period from "01.04.2001 10:03:37" to "02.04.2001 10:03:36". This time range covers 24 hours, but exceeds the day time stamp at 00:00:00 on the first day by 10 hours, 3 minutes, and 36 seconds, i.e. by a total time offset of 36,216 seconds. A time series whose integration time is 24 hours but differs from the time stamp by the time offset is therefore a time slice. This special property of a time series can only be determined by means of the list of origin-specific parameters and is not part of the regular identifier.
