var = TREFHT(:119,:,:)
var = (/ however you created the var array originally /)

For instance, I just did this for a trend calculation:
oz_ll_asond = oz_zmAnom5(:,:,0) ; oz_zmAnom5 dimensioned lev,lat,time
oz_ll_asond = (/ onedtond(tttt_at_slope,(/20,64/))*51. /)

You need to set some mp resources:
