Calculating monthly mean from daily CESM2 output in CMIP6

Hello,
Since some CESM2 variables (e.g., ta, ua, va) have data missing for table_id = Amon and expt = hist_aer, would it be okay for me to calculate the monthly means from the daily data and use that (since daily data is available), or is that incorrect? I am using monthly data for these variables from a number of models and need to make comparisons, multi-model mean etc. Any suggestions on this would be helpful thanks!

I apologize for these missing data. The CMIP6 data are now frozen and will not be altered as focus is on CMIP7.

That said, you can create monthly means from daily data. I recommend using the NCO software package.
