Re: how to plot figure using the average -

Hi Debora,

you are right using dim_avg or avg doesn't do what you want. You can
look at the function month_to_seasonN for seasonal averages:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/month_to_seasonN.shtml

To use that I would read all the monthly values into one data array,
instead of having 12 arrays called preca - preco. Maybe something like this:

prec = new((/nlat,nlon,12/),"float")

And then loop through your data files, or open them all at once:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/addfiles.shtml

do fi = 0, 11
     a = addfile ("/Users/inpe/Documents/testec/currentfile.nc","r")
     prec(:,:,fi) = a->aprc(0,:,:)
end do

You should be able to use month_to_seasonN on the array prec.
