[ferret_users] making a continuous timesaxis with JJAS values

[chinnu sachi <chinnu.sachi7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ferret users,

                           I have time series which had only four month( ie JJAS ) values.

 1948  jun    1.370

 1948  jul   1.636

 1948  aug  1.542

 1948  sep   1.832

 1949  jun  0.523

 1949  jul  0.220

 1949  aug  0.532

 1949  sep  1.313

 1950  jun  0.275

 1950  jul  1.068

 1950  aug  1.100

 1950  sep  1.347

etc till

 2015  jun  -1.662

 2015  jul  -3.908

 2015  aug  -3.032

 2015  sep  -2.286

 I would like to make above time axis into a continuous one from january to december for the entire data period without having any change in the JJAS values. I tried to define a grid with

DEFINE AXIS/t=15-jun-1948:15-sep-2015:1/UNITS=months tax_mon

LET var_new = var[Gt=tax_mon@lin]
save/file=out.nc/clobber var_new

I am getting continuous time axis from january to december for 1948 to 2015, but the values of JJAS of each year has been changed.

Thanks in advance.
