[ncl-talk] how to get the real lat/lon value after areal calculation?

[Guido Cioni]

Hey,
I would suggest to use dim_avg_n instead of dim_avg, so that you can have the control on what you are exactly doing. I think (but maybe I’m wrong) that with your syntax you only get a zonal average, while you want to have a full lat/lon average: is this correct? In order to keep metadata I also suggest to use the _Wrap option. 

T_new=dim_avg_n_Wrap(T(:,{minlat:maxlat},{minlon:maxlon}), (/1,2/) ) 

The (/1,2/) specifies that you are averaging over coordinates lat and lon, on the subset defined by extents {minlat:maxlat},{minlon:maxlon}. Please note that in the output you will get a variable with only time dimension. Thus, I don’t really understand your second question: lat/lon coordinates are not available anymore, since you took a mean over a square. 
Cheers
