> Hello,
> 
> I've been playing with FMRC aggregation over multiple files, where each
> file represents one forecast time from a single run.  Thus the FMRC can
> represent several model runs, each with a number of forecast times.
> 
> Current FMRC aggregation produces a [runtime x forecast time] grid.
> This means the field data - e.g. the forecasted wind data - is also
> represented in a [r x fc] grid.
> 
> I want aggregate this data as follows, such that each forecast time
> appears once on a 1D axis, and is associated with a single runtime that
> appears on a 1D runtime axis.  That way, the number of cells in the data
> grid will equal the number of fc times, rather than [r x fc].
> 
> FC TIMES
> T1  T2  T3  T4  T5 ... may repeat the same fc time
> 
> RUN TIMES
> R1  R2  R3  R4  R5 ... may repeat the same runtime
> 
> WIND DATA
> W1  W2  W3  W4  W5

> Is there a way to use NcML to produce such an aggregation?

no, you'll have to write your own code to do that.
