how to calculate terrestrial global means

hi there,
 my first try to work with NCL. just got it installed and i've already got
 lots of
questions.

i've downloaded data from http://www.earthsystemgrid.org/. i got land only
data for surface and subsurface runoff for a T31 grid.

now i'm planning to calculate the global mean of these parameters.
unfortunately the data is in mm/s but i'll need km-3. this should be easy
but how do i generate a global mean of continental data only which are
normalized to the area of each grid cell (something you have to do when
transferring mm/s to volumes).

any ideas on how to proceed?

ciao sascha
