The question is what variable/levels to use to define the median in an ensemble. In this case the consensus is arbitrarily defined as the member whose northern hemisphere area average 700 hPa geopotential height value at forecast hour 96 is closest to the area-averaged northern hemisphere, ensemble mean ("zave") 700 hPa geopotential height at forecast hour 96. </div><div><br></div><div>In the sample ctl file opened in the script, the zdef corresponds to each 700 hPa ensemble member (this was made years before the ensemble dimension was introduced in GrADS ver 2).</div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
