[ncl-talk] calculating annual max values with varying amount of yearly values

[Alan Brammer]

It might be worth attaching an example of both input files (year and
value).  I'm struggling to work out your file structure.  It seems like it
would be possible to create a single array of all your values and then use
ind() to select the relevant values for each year.

Good luck,
Alan.
