[ncl-talk] Wondering why I am getting this dimensions error

[Barry Lynn]

Hi Dave:

Thank you for your suggestions.

I actually need to sum_q for all elements of the remaining (:,:) 2d array
to obtain a single number.

I am dividing one number by it.

I assume that it is okay to put the := and that I will get the sum over all
2d elements?
