[ncl-talk] Assign lat lon cordinates to polar stereographic coordinate

[Guido Cioni]

Assuming from your filedump you do have coordinate variables associated, so the following should easily work.

temp_avg=dim_avg_n_Wrap(temp(:,:,{40:50},{-30:-10}),(/2,3/))

Otherwise you would have to convert the latitude/longitude variables from 2D to 1D, use the ind function to find all the indices that map into your box, convert again into 2D indices with ind_resolve, subset temp with these indices, do the average.

This is a NetCDF limitation that requires that coordinate variables be one-dimensional and the same length as the dimension they represent.
