[ferret_users] Seasonal_reg regriding questions



I created a netcdf file by regridding a threads aggregation of monthly data with time values of integer number of months since 2006-06-01 (i.e. Time values are 7.0 to 66.0) to a seasonal_reg axis.   The resulting time axis has the following values (in hours) that correspond to Feb-15, May-15, Aug-15, and Nov 15.

SEASONAL_REG[4]
1095.7275, 3287.1825, 5478.6375, 7670.0925


yes? show axis seasonal_reg
 name       axis              # pts   start                end
 SEASONAL_REG TIME              4mr   15-FEB 15:43         15-NOV 14:05
T0 =3D 01-JAN-0000 00:00:00
   Axis span (to cell edges) =3D 8765.82 (modulo length =3D axis span)

Question 1:  Does Feb 15 represent data from Feb 15 to May-15 or from Jan-15 to Apr-15?  (Is Feb 15 the mid-point or the beginning point?)

And does Nov 15 represent data from Nov 15 to Feb 15 or from Oct 15 to Dec 15?

And is there a Ferret command that I should have found to display this info?

Question 2:  Why is the 15th of the month used instead of the first of the month?
