  Approach: I read variables latent heat (le) and sensible heat (sh) from monthly original data files from 1982 until 2008, then I calculated annual mean for both variables, and I further calculated evaporative fraction (le/(le+sh)) using annual mean for both le and sh I saved the data in NetCDF format.
