Dear NCL users

How to create the minor tick mark.

I am using the scripts given below


;****************************************************
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/contrib/time_axis_labels.ncl"
;****************************************************
begin
;***************************
; read in data
;***************************
  f    = addfile ("/home/kunal/Pictures/NCL_Scripts/plot/cloud.nc" , "r")
  t    = f->Cloud_Optical_Thickness_Combined_QA_Mean

  TDim = f->TDim              ; this is our x
  nTDim = dimsizes(TDim)


  wks_type = "pdf"
  wks_type at wkPaperSize = "A4"
  wks = gsn_open_wks(wks_type,"cloud3")


  ; resources for "left" variable
  res                        = True
  res at xyLineThicknesses      = 2.5                 ; thicker line
  res at xyLineColor = "Blue"
  res at trXMinF = 1 ; set minimum X-axis value
  res at trXMaxF = 91 ; set maximum X-axis value

  res at tmXBMode             = "Manual"
  res at tmXBMode = "Explicit"
  res at tmXBValues = ispan(1,91,10)
  res at tmXBLabels = res at tmXBValues
  res at tmXBMinorLengthF     = 0.01



  res at tiMainString               = "Cloud_Optical_Thickness"
  plot = gsn_csm_xy(wks,TDim,t,res)

 end
