Re: Vertical averaging using varying depths

There can not be function for everything.
You can always write your own.
Also, is the (x,y,z,t) fortran ordering???
Is 'z' one dimensional or 4 dimensional?

let: dz=layer_thickness,
       q=variable, fortran(x,y,z,t)=>ncl(t,z,y,x) ; 0,1,2,3

       z_zavg = dim_sum_n(q*dz, 1)/dim_sum_n(dz) ; q and dz (x,y,z,t)

--
       dz4 = conform(dz,z,1)
       z_zavg = dim_sum_n(q*dz4, 1)/dim_sum_n(dz4)  ; q(x,y,z,t), dz(z)
