hi Carl,
i made some modification in the script attached but I had this error;

fatal:syntax error: line 49 in file xy.ncl before or near ; sets the
correct time labels

time_axis_labels(x, res, restime) ; sets the correct time labels
^

fatal:syntax error: possibly an undefined procedure
fatal:Syntax Error in block, block not executed
fatal:error at line 52 in file xy.ncl
