*Variable: CoD1*
*Dimensions and sizes: [3] x [660] x [988]*
*(0) min=0   max=0.961394*


step 2:

   CoD2 = sum(CoD1)/3           <===  No!
   printVarSummary(CoD2)
   printMinMax(CoD2, 0)

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/dim_avg_n_Wrap.shtml

   CoD2 = dim_avg_n_Wrap(CoD1, 0)    ; (nlat,mlon)
   printVarSummary(CoD2)
   printMinMax(CoD2,0)

===
If you still have large numbers, the find one grid point where a large
number occurs, then print the values.

   print(CoD1(:,nn,mm))   ; print series where large numbers occur
(indices:  nn,mm)
