wk_smooth121
Performs a specialized 1-2-1 filter for Wheeler-Kiladis plots.
Prototype
procedure wk_smooth121 ( x : float or double )
Arguments
xAn array with one or more dimensions. The fastest varying (i.e. rightmost) dimension will be the dimension on which the specialized 1-2-1 running average is performed. Missing values should be indicated by x@_FillValue. If x@_FillValue is not set, then the NCL default (appropriate to the type of x) is assumed.
Description
This procedure performs a special 1-2-1 weighted running average upon x. The input array is altered upon return, so make a copy of it if you need to retain the original values.
