Find and aggregate duplicates

Hello,

We have two huge arrays with the same dimension:

Days = (/19950308,19950314,19950314,:,20081228,20081231,20081231/)

Data = (/ 12.1, 22.5, 32.0, 12.8, 16.0, 32.1/)

There can be several data values for the same day.

Days are irregular. Sure we can sort them, however there will be gaps and
duplicates in this array.

Is it possible to carry out the following tasks efficiently, no loops, using
only built-in NCL functions:

1) Construct the list of unique days, no duplicates

2) Calculate amount of duplicates for each unique day

3) Calculate the data average for each unique day

I see no such solution, only loops.

Am I right?

Thanks,

Slava
