[ncl-talk] Question regarding array averaging

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Prashanth,

All of the original arrays have exactly the same dimensions.  This means
you can easily combine them into a single 2-D virtual array, using array
constructors (/ ... /).  See the NCL user manual for details.  See if this
works.

    result = avg ( (/ a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9 /) )
