[ncl-talk] dim_minind

[Dennis Shea]

Several offline communications later ...

Ruben provided a nice (small) dataset to test for the 6.4.0 dim_minind
function.
FTR: the 6.4.0 dim_minind works fine.

==
The real problem was how to use the returned 2D index  index_min(lat,lon).
Ruben's ultimate objective was to use the returned index values to access a
different variable.

Array indexing using an array of indices works differently in different
languages. In this case, it is best to use an explicit 'do loop'.

[SNIP]
; get 'time index' where the min value occurs

  sst_minind = dim_minind(sst,0)               ; 6.4.0
  printVarSummary(sst_minind)
  printMinMax(sst_minind,0)

; use indices to extract values: *must* use explicit 'do'
; Let 'X' be the different variable

  do nl=0,nlat-1
    do ml=0,mlon-1
       XMIN(nl,ml) = (/ X(sst_minind(nl,ml),nl,ml) /)   ; (/ ... /) avoid
warning message
    end do
  end do
