Re: extracting daily data

:Dear Will,

Thanks for your suggestion. The julian time series in my file are mentioned following way:

year JulianDay Values
1962 60
1962 61
1962 63
: :
: :
1962 365
1963 1
1963 2
1963 3
1963 4
: :
: :
1963 365
1964 1
1964 2
: :
1964 366

I will try by using ut_calender

Thanks
