dim_variance_n_Wrap
Computes unbiased estimates of the variance of a variable's given dimension(s) at all other dimensions and retains metadata.
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_variance_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 variance. Must be consecutive and monotonically increasing.
Description
This function is identical to dim_variance_n, except the return value will have metadata added based on metadata attached to x. See the dim_variance_n page for full documentation and examples.
