Re: Missing function wk_smooth121

Dave,

wk_smooth121 is a procedure and not a function.

    wk_smooth121( x )
not
    x = wk_smooth121( x )
or
    y = wk_smooth121( x )

--
It is prefaced with 'wk_' because it is specifically
to be used by the Wheeler-Kiladis space-time
suite of codes.
It alters the variable being passed.
    x = (/3.,4,6,3,7,2/)
    wk_smooth121( x )
Passing a temporary like (/3.,4,6,3,7,2/)
probably 'works' but can not return the altered values.
The is used by the 'diagnostics_cam.ncl' library.
It was not intended for general use but was documented
because I knew people would look at the 'diagnostics_cam.ncl' library
and I wanted some record of what it does.
We should probably add that to the doc.
