Is there a way to select chunks of data? Say if I had 24 months over 2 years, so that L=1:24, somehow select 1:3, then 13:15? I could imagine using a command like 1:24:3:12, (select 3 points at every 12th value). My browsing through the documentation makes it seem impossible, but it seems like such a simple request, I have a hard time believing that.
I suspect there are smarter ways, but I would try 1) saving yourvariable[L=1:3@AVE], yourvariable[L=13:15@AVE], etc. into separate files, 2) combining them as an ensemble (aggregate), and 3) taking the ensemble average.
Cheers,
