monthly data in average file

[redhat007]

For getting averaged data at the end of each month (every 30.3 days), i have set

Code: Select all

DT=90 
NTSAVG == 1
 NAVG == 29173.3 !30.3 days
 NDEFAVG == 0
 DSTART =  1.00d0                      ! days
 TIDE_START =  0.0d0                       ! days
 TIME_REF =  19800101.0d0                      ! yyyymmdd.dd

But first data was for 17 Jan not 31 January and next data were for middle of each month ( 16 feb,17march,17 april, 17 may and go on).
why the number of time-steps for writing first data was not equal to 29173.3? how can i set ocean.in file to have monthly data for end of each month(even for Jan) not middle of month?
Cheers

I also am confused about this since I have just finished a 3 month run and had the exact same issue!
With my start date at 1st Jul, then after running for 3 months and my avg output says it is at 15 Aug?

It is averaging the time as well as the 2d and 3d fields.
