Dear CF community,
I am trying to create a dataset that contains monthly mean diurnal cycles of
radiative fluxes (i.e. the average day of each month), but I am not sure how to
do this in a CF-compliant way. Example 7.10 does this for one month (Section
7.4 on Climatological statistics), so it seems natural to extend this example.
Will the following extension of Example 7.10 to two consecutive months be
correct?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Alejandro
