Re: [ferret_users] How to merge daily and monthly data file in Ferret
Thanks for reply,
Daily data I am having from 1985 to 2012 total 27 files, and monthly data I am having from 1958 to 2012 total 54 files, finally I want to create single file, please explain how to define time axis for daily and monthly data and moving data into grid.

Dear Dona Clara,

Could you explain what you want to achieve with "merging", exactly?
I see you have a daily year for 1985, and a monthly year for 1958. What
should be the end result? A monthly file from 1958 until 1985 with
only the first and last year filled in? Do you want to take some kind
of average of the two years?
To start, you could define your time axes a little more "properly" by
adding a time_origin and setting proper units for your time variables
in the netcdf file. They should look something like
double time(time) ;
time:units = "hour since 1980-01-14 14:00:00" ;
time:time_origin = "14-jan-1980 14:00:00" ;
If you make a plot of your data, you should get proper time axis
labels below it with dates or months. Otherwise ferret doesn't
"understand" the time axis, and won't be able to do much with your
data.
If you can't modify your netcdf files, you can define a new axis in
Ferret instead. Read up on "define axis" in the manual, and try to put
your variables on a valid ferret axis.
Kind regards,
Hein
