Re: [ferret_users] Monthly means

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ashley,
There is an example in the Users Guide (if you know where to find it)!  
Look up "monthly axis,  creating"  for an example of how to create a 
true monthly time axis.  If you use the default calendar, leap years 
will be taken into account.
