Re: Calendar: basic question

If you have an array (say) x(time,lat,lon) and time is daily data
(say) 365 days, then, conceptually, each 360-day calendar
corresponds to 1.01389 (365/360) days of the 365-day calendar
  
    cal365 = fspan(1,365,365)
    cal360 = ispan(1,365,360)
     xNew = linint1_Wrap **(cal365, x(lat|:,lon|:,time|:), False,
cal360, 0)
