Hi Louis,

As Adam pointed out, there may be something a bit odd about the
subscripting.

I don't know what the dimension sizes of these variables are, but
doing:

   t1 = t(time|0:23,lat|:,lon|:)
   t1 = dim_avg_n(t(0:23,:,:),0)

shouldn't even work, (unless I'm missing something, liked you've
commented part of this code out).

This test worked for me, and produced "min/max diff = 0/0" as expected:

  ntim = 48
  nlat = 64
  nlon = 128
  time = ispan(1,ntim,1)
  lat = fspan(-90,90,nlat)
  lon = fspan(-180,180,nlon)

  t = random_uniform(-50,50,(/ntim,nlat,nlon/))

  t!0 = "time"
  t!1 = "lat"
  t!2 = "lon"
  t&lat = lat
  t&time = time
  t&lon = lon

  t1 = t(time|0:23,lat|:,lon|:)

  tavg1 = dim_avg(t1(lat|:,lon|:,time|:))
  tavg2 = dim_avg_n(t(0:23,:,:),0)

  diff = tavg1-tavg2
  print("min/max diff = " + min(diff) + "/" + max(diff))
