==================================

There is a suite of dim_* and contributed.ncl dim_*Wrap functions.

I am not sure if you are using fortran or NCL ordering.
If it si NCL ordering ...

   XAVG = dim_avg_Wrap(x)

if it is fortran ordering and the array dimensions are named

   XAVG = dim_avg_Wrap(x(lat|:, lon|:, time|:))

If the dimensions are not named then name them and use above.

After computations use

   printVarSummary( XAVG )
   printMinMax( XAVG, True )
