Hi Keah,

If you are using the "Aggregate Grids by Time" to aggregate two datasets the 
12Z should come from the second dataset. The second dataset overwrite the first 
one when there is duplicated time.
In general, when the dataset like the one you used has multiple time dimensions 
and time duplicated, you may not get what you want. The current aggregation 
feature is using  very simple ncml to 
do the work, and can not deal with complicated situation.  We are still try to 
find a better solution here.
