Charts: CSV export.

Excel displays our date-time values with just the times by default.
The actual values in the CSV do contain dates and times.
We might be able to improve this behaviour by formatting our date-time values slightly differently.
We could leave the times out for the averaging periods where they are not relevant: i.e. only include the times for the 3-hourly data.

Low priority issue. The scientific partners don't seem to use Excel.

    Matthias Forkel from MPI-BGC Jena made a related comment in email 30 Jan 2012. He said

    Download time series as csv:
    It would be easier if the Date/time is formatted as YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:ss (i.e. remove the digit from the seconds: ss.s)
