[gradsusr] Detrending seasonal data

[James T. Potemra]

Jason:

First, you need to compute the seasonal mean using "ave", then convert 
this to a seasonal variable (repeats over time), then just subtract it.  
For example, if you have 10 years of monthly mean data (t=1 to 120):

* compute the seasonal mean
'set t 1 12'
'define aveolr = ave(olr,t+0,t=120,12)'

* modify this new variable to be the same t-length as the data
'set t 1 120'
'modify aveolr seasonal'

* subtract the seasonal cycle from the original variable
'd olr-aveolr'

Or something like that....
