<div dir="ltr">Hi Lyndz,<div>No, a function does not exist, at least one is not in contributed.ncl. You can always create one and share it with the community. </div><div><br></div><div>If your data has 4x values for 365 days for each year from 1979-2017 then the calculation is relatively straight forward. If you have leap years, duplicate or missing days, then the function would potentially be tougher as the time coordinate variable would need to be checked. In the simpler former case, something like this would calculate the 6-hourly means:</div><div><br></div><div>; Untested!
