The question is rather vague. For sure, there are no built
in functions for events of different duration

If you need events of different duration [ie, custom events],
I think you have to build them yourself.

Consider a netCDF file with a variable x(time,lat,lon)
and time has units [say, yyyymm] then you could

   event_times = (/198210, 198211, 198212, 198301, ..., 198304 \
                   ,198704,198705, .... \
                   ,....... /)
                   
    x = f->X
    xEvents = x({event_times},{-20:20},{140:270})
    
or you could read directly from a file:

    x = f->X{event_times},{-20:20},{140:270})
    
will contain just the data you want to use BUT
the compositing, well that is up to you.

good luck
