Dear NCL users,   I want to calculate SPI globally. I run the codes which are provided by the ncl website, but I got some errors. Here are the codes I have run, the erroes and a header of nc file I work with( The nc file I use is a ttal monthly precipitation). I coulden't understand where is the problem. Please advise me how sort it out. Thanks in advance, Marzieh here is my script: ___________________________________________________________________ load"$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl" load"$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl" load"$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"    f      = addfile("precip.mon.1981-2010.ltm.v6.nc","r")    prc    = f->precip                                     ;
