No reference ...

The climatology for (say) January is subtracted from from
each January value; this is done for all 12 months.

Actually, this is similar to:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/calcMonAnomLLLT.shtml

The difference is that rmMonAnnCycLLLT calculates the climatology
over all the years. Hence, if you average all the (say) January
anomalies, they will add to zero.

calcMonAnomLLLT allows the user to input a climatology
which has been calculated using a subset of years.
eg: say u have data spanning 1870-2005. You could calculate
a traditional 30-year climatology which spans (say) 1971-2000.

Of course, if the climatology input to calcMonAnomLLLT was
calculated over all years, then the monthly deviations would
sum to 0.0
