<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Dear NCL Users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Trying to get the index of the maximum value on a single dimension as part of a multidimensional array. The array is data(time, lat, lon) where nlat x nlon is 400x500 and ntime=24. Would like the maximum over the time dimension for each grid cell or lat/long.
Has anymore performed this without a loop over nlat/nlon ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Making the array 1D (and using ind_resolve) allows me to get the max inds per dimension over the whole array, which isn't what I need. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </div>
<div>thanks,</div>
<div>Matt</div>
