<div dir="ltr">Hello Arindam, <div><br></div><div>Thank you for the suggestion. I found that converting ts_10&DateTime from "yyyymmddhh" to "hours since 2008-11-01 00:00:00" using <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/WRF_contributed/wrf_times_c.shtml">wrf_times_c</a> and option 0 helped the labels to appear correctly on the x-axis. </div>

You may need to create a time array using cd_inv_calendar() and send that to time_axis_label().</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello, <div><br></div><div>I am trying to use time_axis_labels to produce x-axis labels in a YYYYMMDD format for the bottom axis of 10 attached plots. I am using <a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/User_contributed/time_axis_labels.shtml" target="_blank">example 6</a> on the time_axis_labels page. </div>
<div><br></div><div>When I run my script, I do not receive any errors, however, I also do not see any x-axis labels on my plot. The relevant portions of my script are below. I can send along the full script if needed but I believe the below contains the relevant portions for sake of keeping it short. <br>
