Thanks Gus for the time and detailed explanation on what I was missing.
Changing the new time length did the trick.
Best regards

Hi Kwesi
One thing that came to mind.
First, simplify, note that
34*365=12410 is the number of ouput time records you want,
and 34*360=12240 is the number of input time records.
Right?
I would guess what you want is that your output time
starts at time_360(0) (the first input time record)
ends at time_360(12240 - 1) (the last input time record)
and has 12410 data points.
Hence, maybe you need to create time_365 like this:
time_365=fspan(time_360(0), time_360(12240 - 1), 12410).
Right?
This way your output "day" may be shorter than one input day, but that is
unavoidable if you're going from 360 to 365 days.
Also, then you need to use the same units as in the original time.
Now you're using "days since 1980-01-01 12:00:00" , but you haven't shown
if these are the original units or not.
I hope this helps,
