[ncl-talk] Area average while using shapefile

Hi Ipshita,

The "conform" function doesn't do the masking. It simply propagates a 2D
array to a 3D array.

You need to take this 2D mask array, conform it to 3D, and then apply it to
your original "ts" data in order to "mask" the locations in "ts" where the
values are 1:

;---Create a 2D mask array using India shapefile outlines
  ts_mask_2d = mask_data_with_India_country(India_code,ts(0,:,:))

;---Conform this 2D array to a 3D array
  ts_mask_3d = conform(ts,ts_mask_2d,(/1,2/))

;---Apply the 3D mask to "ts"
  tm_3d = mask(ts,ts_mask_3d,1)    ; Keep ts when ts_mask_3d equal 1


The tm_3d array should now be the one that you can average.

By the way, there are some things you can do to clean up your code a little.

[1] You don't need to use a "do" loop to calculate the average.  You can
use "dim_avg_n" or "dim_avg_n_Wrap" (preserves metadata):

prec_avg = dim_avg_n_Wrap(tm_3d,(/1,2/))

[2] You generally don't ever need to use "new" unless you need to populate
that array inside a do loop by indexing it, or you just need to create an
empty array for some reason.

So, you can replace this code:

 precp_mon_avg = new((/100,12/),"float")

 precp_mon_avg=reshape(prec_avg,(/100,12/))

with just one line:

 precp_mon_avg = reshape(prec_avg,(/100,12/))
