[gradsusr] Average of a parameter

Hi,
 
Unfortunately, It didn't work for my aim. In fact, I would like to have the average over the time but in every grid point (according to different lon and lat) separately. To show what kind of average I need is like a matrix as follows. each number is the averaged data during 10 years (t= 517 to t=643), based on Ncep data set. Can anyone help?

I have 10*12=120 of tables like this for 10 years with 12 month. I would like to write a script that read the data from a file  in each grid point in every month during 10 years and then calculate the average, and show the average in a text file.

Thareh
