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
