[ferret_users] years as unit of time axis?



Hi,

 

Always for the same European Project, I have to provide a file with annual mean of variables (here the example of SST) form daily values.

 

I use the following lines, found in the Ferret documentation:

 

DEFINE AXIS/EDGES/T0=01-jan-1900/UNITS=days years=DAYS1900(X[i=1998:2010:1],1,1)

save/append/file="ROMS-SST-BISCAY-HC-TSeries.nc" SST[d=1,X=-10:-0.5@ave,Y=42:49@ave,gt=years]

 

D=1 is the file with the daily SST

 

The result (attached file) shows unit of time axis as:

02-JUL-1998

02-JUL-1999

02-JUL-2008

02-JUL-2009

 

That is to say 12 values for 12 years.

 

I would like “years” as the unit, like:

1998

1999

2008

2009

 

that is to say, no days and no months.

 

If I use UNIT=years, it does not work, as DAYS1900 returns the number of days since 01-JAN-1900.

 

Do you know if there is a solution to change this with Ferret? or nco?

 

Thank you very much.
