[ncl-talk] Poleward Atmospheric Energy Transport-Integration along longitudes

If you have:

paet(time,lat,lon) ; dimension numbers (0,1,2)

and, you want "to calculate the poleward energy transports along the
latitude circle"

Not clear what you mean but this sounds like the zonal means

   paet_zonal = dim_avg_n_Wrap(paet, 2)   ; (time,lat)

The multiply by the appropriate latitudinal area.
