[ncl-talk] 3 dimensions to 2 dimensions

[Rick Brownrigg]

Well, there are still two problems with that innermost nested loop:

i)  What is the value of the 1st (zero-th) index value into TRMM on the
first iteration of that loop?
do nt=0,ntim-1
Rain(nl,ml) = TRMM(nt-1,nl,ml)  ; Subscript out of range, error in
subscript #0

ii) again, this loop is overwriting the value of Rain(nl,ml) repeatedly,
for "ntim" times, only to end up with Rain(nl,ml) containing the value
TRMM(ntim-1,nl,ml) by the time the innermost loop exits. What is it you
really intend here -- a sum over time, or an average?

I really don't know at all about the second set of errors from copy_VarMeta
-- it seems like some dimensionality requirement between copy_from and
copy_to is getting violated, but I don't have the full picture. See the
docs for discussion on requirements on the "leftmost dimensions":

http://ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/copy_VarMeta.shtml

Perhaps get that inner loop correct and the rest may sort itself out....
