[gradsusr] Average wind and swell values NOAA wavewatch III full dataset.

[kent balas]

I imagine I'd specify the lat long covering the area of interest?  What I
want to do is identical to the NOAA product viewer (
http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/viewer.shtml?) but over 10 years, instead
of 180 hrs.  Perhaps animating with a daily or weekly average values.
