Looking for advice on a complex system of executed rules on nodelist from views.

In my system I have a series of nodes that are created every hour, each one with a set of environmental paramaters. the date is stored as a cck datetime with the time ignored and the time is stored as an integer in a cck feild and is from 0-23. Lastly is a field called station which contains a code for a particular station. Now at run time during creation of the nodes, which is handled by feedapi, a series of physics equations which has been converted into php functions and are activated by a set of trigger rules and rule sets. the end result is that as the weather nodes are created, the additional feilds are filled by the rules module executing my physics equations.

Part of the problem here is that each set of calculations (per node) involves the prior 24 nodes to the current one, that is to say, if the station had a code of stcode1, then the date, the hour and the station code if the current node is used by the rules module to do the calculations and populate the fields.

This woks great every day and all automagically, the problem is, if a single record (or 10 or all of them) is missed by the satellite, and this happens often, we cannot calculate the equations because of the missing records. Sooooo, many times we input our own values and click a recalc checkbox and presto problem solved.

BUT when the problem occurs on friday, and I return monday, I want to recalculate the friday record, the saturday, the sunday and the monday.

Is there some way I can have a view present a list of nodes/nids to rules for execution?
