[ncl-talk] Question about fourier_info

See the example*. fanal_4.ncl ...* in particular, the figure.

The phase component gives the index (subscript) of the maxima.

     (*1*,0)	72         <=== Phases: *location of first maximum*
     (*1*,1)	36
     (*1*,2)	12
for 'latitude', then the first maxima occur at
finfo(1,lat(72)), finfo(1,lat(36)), finfo(1,lat(12))

If this were 'time', then the first maxima occur at
finfo(1,time(72)), finfo(1,time(36)), finfo(1,time(12))
