This is one way:

df<- data.frame(Time=as.POSIXct("2009-01-01", format="%Y-%m-%d") + seq(0, 
60*60*24*365-1, 60*60),
                  lev.morgan=3+runif(24*365),
                  lev.lock2=3+runif(24*365),
                  flow=1000+rnorm(24*365, 200),
                  direction=runif(24*365, 0, 360),
                  velocity=runif(24*365, 0, 10))
(df2<- aggregate(df[ , -1], list(date=as.Date(df$Time)), FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE))



Hope this helps
