I have taken some CanESM2 data for which I've extracted the snow cover data (snc), and then taken the average of across Siberia (between 40N-80N and 60E-140E), followed by extracting the average October mean snow cover:
set ifile = snc_LImon_CanESM2_historical-r5_r9i1p1_195001-202012.nc
set ofile = snc_LImon_CanESM2_historical-r5_r9i1p1_195001-202012_OctMean.nc
cdo monmean -selmon,10 -fldmean -sellonlatbox,60,140,40,80 $ifile $ofile
(this part of the script works fine)
I then want to change the format of the time axis so that when I read the file into NCL, it displays the date and time as October, 16, 1950 12:00 ...,... October 16, 2020 12:00, with time-steps of 1 year, instead of the default model timestep. However, when I attempt to use the settaxis command (as follows), it gives me the following error message: "cdo settaxis (Warning): Time bounds unsupported by this operator, removed! cdo settaxis: Processed 71 values from 1 variable over 71 timesteps ( 0.00s )"
set ifile2 = snc_LImon_CanESM2_historical-r5_r9i1p1_195001-202012_OctMean.nc
set ofile2 = snc_LImon_CanESM2_historical-r5_r9i1p1_195001-202012_OctMean_taxis.nc
cdo settaxis,1950-10-16,12:00,1year $ifile $ofile
