Mason,<br>It sounds like you'll have to hard code the lat/lon boxes for each ave command then. Try something like<br><br>lat1.1 = ...<br>lat1.2 = ...<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>lat1.n = ...<br><br>---<br><br>lat2.1 = ...<br>lat2.2 = ...<br>
.<br>.<br>.<br>lat2.n = ...<br><br>---<br><br>lon1.1 = ...<br>lon1.2 = ...<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>lon1.n = ...<br><br>---<br><br>lon2.1 = ...<br>lon2.2 = ...<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>lon2.n = ...<br><br>where lat1 and lat2 are the start and end latitudes of the box and lon1 and lon2 are th start and end longitudes of the box, and n is the number of files. Then do<br>
<br>a = 1<br>sum = 0<br>while (a <= n)<br> 'd asum(field.'a',lon='lon1.a',lon='lon2.a',lat='lat1.a',lat='lat2.a')'<br>*insert commands to take the output value into a new variable called summand<br>
sum = sum + summand<br> a = a +1<br>endwhile<br><br>average = sum/n<br><br>Is this what you are trying to do?<br><br>Jeff Duda<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/8/28 Rowell, Mason D. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Mason.D.Rowell-1@ou.edu">Mason.D.Rowell-1@ou.edu</a>></span><br>

The trouble is, I don't want the domains for each file to match. I have GRIB data that I have made ctl files for with <a href="http://grib2ctl.pl" target="_blank">grib2ctl.pl</a> but I want to center each file (for a different day) on a different grid point and then average the files. Thus I wouldn't be averaging
the same actual grid point in space each time. <br>

<div>try opening them together<br>
<br>
open file.ctl<br>
open file2.ctl<br>
open file3.ctl<br>
.... etc<br>
<br>
then set the domain conditions (so that they all match)<br>
<br>
then just ave. Remember to call the variables with var.1, var.2 depending on the file number.<br>
<br>
if you give us an example of the commands you are trying to use we can probably help better<br>
<br>

<div>Is there a way to average several different files (presumably the same variable in each file) but with a different domain setting for each file?</div>
