The documentation states

"The results are returned in a one dimensional array of size [30].
Double if x is type "double"; otherwise, "float"

Up thru 6.0.0 the first 22 locations are filled with assorted
statistics. The last 8 were reserved for future use.

You can examine the actual code via (search for stat_dispersion')

%> less $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl

===
Note: the current documentation for 6.1.0 (soon to be released)

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

shows all 30 locations now contain statistics.
This was done at a users request.
