[ncl-talk] grid_area_avg

[Mary Haley]

Kunal,

I created an example for you, showing three ways you can subset a WRF grid
(since I already had a similar example).  It shows how to use the
getind_latlon2d function.

You have to be careful with subsetting curvilinear data, because specifying
a lat/lon box to take an average over can mean two different things. You
will be able to see the difference when you look at the graphic.

See example wrf_gsn_10.ncl at:
