There is not a particular way to capture the details of a few
months' average per year in the data model for time axes. The axis
will just be one grid point per year. But there are a number of
ways to define a yearly axis. If you want a listing of the time coordinates to be 2001, 2002, 2003then the axis that you have defined is fine, and a listing will just depend on the formatting of the listing that you are using. If you want to compare with other data which may be, say, monthly data in those years, then Ferret can do that comparison, and you might use this definition: yes? define axis/t=0:11:1/t0=15-apr-2001/units=years tyear Where I have put the coordinate location for each at the middle of April. Showing the axis points, yes? list t[gt=tyear]You could work with data on that axis, and Ferret will automatically convert between it and other calendar axes, defined in other time units such as days or months, and with different time origins.

Hello Mr Ansley Actually I have 11 data points for 11 years, they are averaged over march,april and may months for each year from 2001 to 2011, so I have 11 points, now I want to put them in a time axis where only years will be there from 2001 to 2011.

I am defining time axis as define axis/t=2001:2011:1/units=years tyear le var1=var[gt=tyear@asn] time axis is showing years 2001.0, 2002.0 and so on. Why is this decimal form coming and how to get rid of that? Thanks Arijeet |
