Dear Yadu,
It is a giveaway:
I do not know whether you want climatoligical monthly average (12 data) or time-series monthly average(6 years*12 monthy=60 data), but here is what you can do:
use climatological_axes !you will be able to produce climatological average
use "yourfile.nc"
define axis/t="1-JAN-2000":"31-DEC-2005"/np=2192 newtime !you should have your time axis in this format, if you already have in it, do not need this line
let var1=yourvariable_in_yourfile[gt=newtime@asn]
let climat=var1[gt=month_irreg@mod] !this variable will be the climatological monthly average. dimension l=1 will be average of all the six "januaries" in time
define axis/t="15-JAN-2000":"15-DEC-2005"/np=72 monthly !create monthly time-series for 6 years
let monthlyave=var1[gt=monthly@ave] !dimension l=1 is the average of the first month
you should take note of the unit of you variable after averaging, especially when you are dealing with precipitation files!
Cheers,
