Let us denote the data from 6 hourly output as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6.<br>
<br>
To get hourly mean, then<br>
for hour 1, the mean is C1,<br>
for hour 2, the mean is 2C2-C1<br>
for hour 3, the mean is 3C3-2C2<br>

<div>I plotted a quick and dirty cloud animation using the data - each step is 1 hour from f001 through f015 in the attached.</div>

<div>It appears that they are averages over time - you can see the bigger jumps at steps 8 and 14 (the transition from 0-6hr avg to 6-7hr and from 6-12hr avg to 12-13hr).</div>

That might just be a wgrib table thing. Have you actually plotted the field over those times? If it's truly an averaged field, you should be able to see some indication of that in the texture and smoothness of the fields as you progress through increasing averaged
times. <br>
<br>
</div>
My guess is that this is just some arbitrary setting in wgrib and does not reflect the true nature of the field. But I could be wrong. If there are any NCEP folks who work on the GFS on this forum, perhaps one of them could set the record straight.<br>

<div>It seems a little strange to me that the total cloud cover product would be averaged over time. Is that really the case?<br>
<br>
</div>
Anyway, if you really do have an average over overlapping and increasing windows, with nothing else to go on and without applying the equations of motion in reverse, you'd have to assume a linear averaging, so subtraction of subsequent slices of the field (i.e.,
tcdcclm - tcdcclm(t-1)) would give you piecewise temporal averages. However, that method would give you negative cloud cover values which is clearly nonsensical, which again is why I question whether or not that array contains a temporal average. That just
doesn't make a lot of sense.<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m working with hourly GFS total cloud cover (TCDCclm) and I’m a bit stumped on the following..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given TCDCclm for hours 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4, 0-5, and 0-6, what is the proper way to determine TCDCclm for hours 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I may be making the problem more difficult than it is..but wanted to ping this group to be sure.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Is there an existing grads script that handles this already and if not, does anyone here have any insight?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks so much for your time.</div>

<div>Best,</div>
