Dear Jim,
Thank you for your reply and pointing this out. I thought about it and then
I forgot. I have computed the weekly average (and max and min). The data is
below. Again I computed the max/min/mean by each year, so each file
contains data for one year. Can I modify the code I used for count? Thanks
again!
Sincerely,
Shouro
