<DIV>Dear GrADS users,</DIV>
<DIV>I am relatively new to writing GrADS loops and wanted to know if anybody could provide pointers to my simple script below:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN>
<P>* create zonal time average for meridional wind</P>
<P>iz = 1</P>
<P>while (iz<13)</P>
<P>'set z ' iz</P>
<P>'define timeaveV = ave(v, t=1, t=120)'</P>
<P>'define zonalAVGV = ave(timeaveV, lon=0, lon=360)'</P>
<P>iz = iz+1</P>
<P>endwhile</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Basically, I have a monthly mean meridional wind file with 10 years of monthly data (12 months x 10 years = 120 time steps) for 12 vertical levels. I would like to calculate the time mean zonal mean value for each of the 12 vertical levels. For some reason when I execute this script I get the same line plot for each level. I was hoping to get 12 unique line plots or curves for zonalAVGV, one for each vertical level. </P>
<P>Does anybody notice the error in the script that prevents this?</P>
<P>If it matters, I am using GrADS version 2.0.a7 on a windows XP system. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Sincerely,</P>
