Hello Mary,

I save the data of 'spi' as netcdf file.

Where dimension of the data is like below;
spi(135x129x492) ; (lon, lat, spi values)

Now my question is if I want to select 197207 with 3 month running avg.
Then how to select those indices from 3rd dimension of the matrix "spi"?

Start yr is 1970.

Please kindly inform me.

Thanking you,
Soma
