[ncl-talk] reshape function and averaging

[Mary Haley]

Dear Ramchandra,

I assume that you meant ndays was equal to ntime/24 and not ntime/2.

You want the "24" part of the array to be the second one from the left, if
your time array is consecutive in time. That is, it is arranged by hour 0,
hour 1, ..., hour 23 for the first day, and then hour 0, hour 1, ... hour
23 for the second day, and so on.

So what you had was correct:

Re3d    = reshape(T, (/ndays,24, nlat, nlon/))

Regarding the average, if you want to average all the hour 0s as one
quantity, and the hour 1s as one quantity, up to hour 23, then:

Re3d_avg = dim_avg_n(Re3d,0)

which will give you a Re3d_avg that is dimensioned 24 x nlat x nlon.

 --Mary
