Re: monthly mean climatology

There are several approaches

[1] http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/talk_archives/2012/1256.html

[2] there is an unsupported and undocumented function in
     contributed.ncl: calculate_monthly_values

     It requires a time coordinate variable associated
     with the input variable 'x'. This time coordinate
     variable must be udunits compatible:

     "days since ...", "hours since ...", "seconds since ..."

     See cd_calendar and cd_inv_calendar

;---------------------------------
; undocumented and unsupported
;---------------------------------
undef ("calculate_monthly_values")
function calculate_monthly_values (x:numeric, arith:string,
nDim[1]:integer, opt[1]:logical)

; calculate monthly values [avg, sum, min, max]
; x: numeric array of 5D or less [eg: time,lev,lat,lon]
; *must* have time coordinate recognized by cd_calendar
; if 5D [case,time,lev,lat,lon]
; arith: "avg" [also, "ave"], "sum","min","max" others may be added
later
; nDim : scalar integer that specifies the 'time' dimension [generally, 0]
; opt : option ... not used here
;
; Sample usage: x(time,lat,lon) where time are n-hrly or daily values.
; xMonthAvg = calculate_monthly_values(x, "avg", 0, False)
; xMonthSum = calculate_monthly_values(x, "sum", 0, False)
; xMonthMin = calculate_monthly_values(x, "min", 0, False)
; xMonthMax = calculate_monthly_values(x, "max", 0, False)
;
; It is assumed that there will be multiple elements for the dim_avg_n
; calculation.
