Re: Finding the Median

Hopefully, stat_dispersion and dim_median_n would give the same answer.

Consider Q(y,x)

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

   opt = True
   opt@PrintStat = True
   statb = stat_dispersion(Q, opt )
====

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/dim_median_n.shtml

For the latter: Q(y,x)
                    0 1 < dimension numbers

    med = dim_median_n(Q,(/0,1/)) ; both dimensions combined
