[ncl-talk] Removing repeated times from concatenated files in an NCL script

[Alan Brammer]

One question is why are there repeat times?
But you could see if any time before the current are equal to the current. 


do t=0,dimsizes(Times)-1

if( t .gt. 0 .and.   any( Times(:t-1).eq.Times(t) )  )then     ;;  first check, prevents a subscript error
    continue
end if
 
… rest of your plotting loop.

end do
