The result of a global aave() on a data variable and a defined variable are the same no matter what I try. One thing you didn't show was the output from 'q dims' -- I wonder if you had a funky dimension environment set. In any event, if this problem can be reliably reproduced with your file sfcdn_new.binary, please send it to me (not to gradsusr). </div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 14, 2009, at 10:57 AM, Colleen Mikovitz wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I am working though a script to do simple global maps of variables<br>with annotations of the global average.
