[gradsusr] average of the multiple levels

[Andrew Revering]

I just want to make sure that you're really doing what you want to do…

 

CAPE is an integration of values generally from the surface all the way to the top of the atmosphere or EL (Equilibrium Level) where CAPE becomes 0 again. You add up the values at each level to get the value known as CAPE.

 

The only adjustment to this process is sometimes you mix the lower 100mb and then raise the parcel from those values as if they were the values at the surface when calculating the parcel temperature.

 

If you know all that and you're goal is something else, ignore me. :)

Dear users,

I have a file with CAPE in multiple levels (1000 to 100), varying in a grid. How can I to calculate the average considering all levels. I want the average of CAPE among 1000 to 100. I'm hoping for some suggestions
For exemple:
lon= -50 to -42
lat= -25 to -21
lev= 1000 to 100    Z= 1 to 19

Thank you advanced,
