[gradsusr] Advanced Usage of Ave Function

[Rowell, Mason D.]

Is this grad scripting language you reference hear? I am pretty new to GrADS. I am not quite sure if that would accomplish what I want, but it is worth a try. I could be mistaken, but it looks like you (Jeff Duda) are a new student at OU. I am actually already in the problem, so maybe we could consult on this in person.

Mason,
It sounds like you'll have to hard code the lat/lon boxes for each ave command then.  Try something like

lat1.1 = ...
lat1.2 = ...
.
.
.
lat1.n = ...

---

lat2.1 = ...
lat2.2 = ...
.
.
.
lat2.n = ...

---

lon1.1 = ...
lon1.2 = ...
.
.
.
lon1.n = ...

---

lon2.1 = ...
lon2.2 = ...
.
.
.
lon2.n = ...

where lat1 and lat2 are the start and end latitudes of the box and lon1 and lon2 are th start and end longitudes of the box, and n is the number of files.  Then do

a = 1
sum = 0
while (a <= n)
 'd asum(field.'a',lon='lon1.a',lon='lon2.a',lat='lat1.a',lat='lat2.a')'
*insert commands to take the output value into a new variable called summand
  sum = sum + summand
 a = a +1
endwhile

average = sum/n

Is this what you are trying to do?

Thank you for your response,

The trouble is, I don't want the domains for each file to match. I have GRIB data that I have made ctl files for with grib2ctl.pl<http://grib2ctl.pl> but I want to center each file (for a different day) on a different grid point and then average the files. Thus I wouldn't be averaging the same actual grid point in space each time.

try opening them together

open file.ctl
open file2.ctl
open file3.ctl
.... etc

then set the domain conditions (so that they all match)

then just ave. Remember to call the variables with var.1, var.2 depending on the file number.

if you give us an example of the commands you are trying to use we can probably help better

Regards,

James

convert the different domains into a same domain at first step.

All,
Is there a way to average several different files (presumably the same variable in each file) but with a different domain setting for each file?
