Hi all,
I have downloaded NCEP reanalysis winds (u and v), each with dimensions
[time x lat x long]. The data runs from 1948 - current. I take the DJF
seasonal average first. Next, I am trying to take an average of
user-inputted, non-consecutive years. So for example, I'd like to take
the average over, say, 1958, 1967, 1999 and 2001. I have used
dim_avg_n_wrap to do averages before, but as far as I can see I can only
choose a range of consecutive years with this. Is there a simple way to
do this? Also, I manually convert the years to indices, but not sure
that's the way to go.
My code and some of the VarSummaries are copied here. I run into an error
when trying to make a list of years at line 43
(uDJF_NAO_lo = uDJF((10,11,12,16,24,26,43,44,57,58),:,:))
Thanks!
Mira
