Re: Changing a four dimensional array into a three dimensional array

Hi Thomas,
escorc allows one input array to be 1-dimensional and the other to be
multi-dimensional as long as the dimension sizes of the rightmost
dimensions of each input array match. Thus, I think all you need to do
is something like this:

MSLP = in1->MSL_GDS0_SFC_123
printVarSummary(MSLP) ; make sure time is in the left-most dimension as month_to_seasonN requires that
MSLP_season=month_to_seasonN(MSLP,(/"MAM"/))
delte(MSLP)

printVarSummary(MSLP_season)
MSLP_MAM = MSLP_season(0,:,:,:) ; grab MAM
delete(MSLP_season)
MSLP_season!0="time" ; rename dimensions
MSLP_season!1="lat"
MSLP_season!2="lon"
......
SipleNa = Siple(:,1)
ccr = MSLP_MAM(0,:,:) ; set up ccr with correct metadata, and overwrite data in the next line..
ccr = (/ escorc(SipleNA, MSLP_MAM(lat|:,lon|:,time|:)) /) ; dimsizes(MSLP_MAM&time) MUST = dimsizes(SipleNA)
printVarSummary(ccr)

Obviously, that is all untested. If you haven't already, I would review
the month_to-seasonN and escorc documentation:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/month_to_seasonN.shtml
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/escorc.shtml

(As an aside: code-wise "MSLP4(:,:,:)" is the same as "MSLP4".)

If the above doesn't help or if you have further questions, please let
ncl-talk know.

I have pulled out the March April May mean sea level pressure variable for all lat, lon, and time steps, and now I am trying to populate a new 3d array with these values (I'm doing this to correlate with a timeseries that is in a three dimensional array).
