dim_stddev_n_Wrap
Computes the sample standard deviation of a variable's given dimension(s) at all other dimensions and retains metadata.
Available in version 5.1.1 and later.
Prototype
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl" ; This library is automatically loaded ; from NCL V6.2.0 onward. ; No need for user to explicitly load. function dim_stddev_n_Wrap ( x : numeric, dims [*] : integer ) return_val : float or double
Arguments
xA variable of numeric type and any dimensionality.
dimsThe dimension(s) of x on which to calculate the standard deviation. Must be consecutive and monotonically increasing.
Description
This function is identical to dim_stddev_n, except the return value will have metadata added based on metadata attached to x. See the dim_stddev_n page for full documentation and examples.
