Prototype

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"

	function calcMonAnomTLL (
		x     [*][*][*] : float or double,  
		xAve [12][*][*] : numeric           
	)

	return_val [dimsizes(x)] :  numeric

Arguments

A three-dimensional array of any numeric type. Dimensions must be time,lat,lon The time dimension must be a multiple of 12.

A three-dimensional array equal to the monthly averages of x. The rightmost two dimensions are lat and lon, while the leftmost must be of size 12.

Return value

An array of the same size and type as x.

Calculates climatological anomalies by subtracting the long term mean from each point. Assumes monthly data. If the input data contains metadata (e.g. coordinate variables and attributes), these will be retained.
