Process data by using linux command ---average

1. ncra average every variables in the file in time dimension

ncra superior_0001.nc superior_0001_DailyAvg.nc
# Daily average of all variables

ncra -F -d time,1,12 superior_0001.nc superior_0001_DailyAvg_1-12.nc
# The first 12 hours average of all variables

ncra -v temp -F -d time,1,24 superior_0001.nc superior_0001_DailyAvg_temp.nc
# Daily average of temperature

ncra -v temp -F -d time,1,24 -d siglay,1 superior_0001.nc superior_0001_DailyAvg_lst.nc
# Daily average of lake surface temperature

2. The second method is to grep the every day lake surface temperature into one file “gls_lst_2019_LowRes.nc”, and then use MATLAB to process it.
   We can use the following loop:

for i in {1..366}
do
printf -v nn "%04d" ${i}
xtmp="ncks -C -v lon,lat,h,art1,temp,Times -F -d siglay,1 superior_${nn}.nc tmp_${nn}.nc"
echo ${xtmp}
eval ${xtmp}
done
#
xtmp="ncrcat tmp_????.nc gls_lst_2019_LowRes.nc"
echo ${xtmp}
eval ${xtmp}
rm -f tmp_????.nc
