Re: (no subject)

If you have the u and v data for the month, you can calculate the magnitude
of the wind speed and use the dim_avg_n_Wrap function to calculate the
average over the time variable.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/dim_avg_n_Wrap.shtml

given u and v are formatted as (time,lev,lat,lon)

mag = u^2 + v^2
copy_VarCoords<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/copy_VarCoords.shtml>
(u,mag)
wind_avg = dim_avg_n_Wrap(mag,0)

Hope this helps.
