time array

Hello
>
> I am using ncl-6.1 on a ubuntu 10.04 x64 machine. I have a set of narr
> 3hrly grib files for a given day. A given variable "temp" within the
> narr data has dimensions [lev, lat, lon]. I want to add a forth
> dimension "time". My approach has been to combine the 8 files for a
> given day using join. "join" creates a new array that i label "time"
> using temp!0 = "time". I create the time array values using the
> function yyyymmddhh_time.
> Is my approach wrong and is there a better way to do it?
> Should I have added a time dimension before combining the files?
>
> My overall intention is to create daily averages from a years worth of
> 3hrly narr data that do not have a time dimension.
