[ncl-talk] rainfall averaging

[Geeta Geeta]

Hi all. 

I have to compute average rainfall over a box (say 10-20N/60-90E) from wrf output using the NCL script. 

I am also using MET software for verification, I converted the rainfall from wrfout files into netcdf files (I named them as model24_2011060100.nc) using the PCP_COMBINE tool model24_2011060100.nc file has ONLY rainfall data. 

Now my confusion is as follows. 

Do I have to use the  destaggering function for this data file before I calculate area average???. 
1. I saw the ncl scripts that use the wrfout file directly.
