<div>Also, stat_dispersion returns an array of 30 values each time, not a single value. See function documentation. So you need to add an extra dimension in the loop calculation, like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> grid_stats = new ((/ nlat, mlon, 30 /), typeof(rf), getFillValue(rf))</div>

<div> end do</div>
<div> end do</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When the loop is complete, the 10th percentile values will be in grid_stats(:,:,3), which is a 2-D grid that you can plot. The 90th percentile values will be in grid_stats(:,:,13). Again, refer to the function documentation for the correct index
values to access the desired statistics.</div>

<div>Ali, you do not need to make new code to find the 10th and 90th percentile values. Just use stat_dispersion directly, and take only the output values that you need. The function is designed to be used in this way. There is no significant performance
impact from ignoring all the other result values.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can easily make a spatial map of 10th or 90th percentile values. Just call stat_dispersion inside a double loop over X and Y dimensions.</div>

<div>I’ve used that function a bunch. If you only want 10th and 90th percentile, you’ll want to use: </div>

</div>
<div>qsort</div>
<div>Which will sort your data within a single grid cell from lowest to highest.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And then grab the specific lines of code for 10th and 90th percentiles from the stat_dispersion function in:</div>
<div>$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl</div>
