<div><br>
</div>
<div>you just open your data ctl file and then your maskout ctl file as 2.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>for your area average: <font color="#ff0000">d aave(maskout(your_var,mask.2(t=1)),lon=X1,lon=X2,lat=Y1,lat=Y2)</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>mask.2 shows that variable mask is second file and use always (t=1) for mask as the t step is only.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope it solves your purpose!!!</div>

<div style="direction:ltr; font-size:10pt; font-family:Tahoma">Good Evening All,<br>
<br>
I'm currently trying to compute an areal average and I have created a masked out control file with MeteoInfo for the area that I'd like to compute an average of.
<br>
<br>
What do I do with the MeteoInfo-created .ctl file now?<br>
<br>
The reason why I ask is because there's already a .ctl file for the displayed data and now there's one for just the area and I don't think that I want to be using them both at the same time...<br>
<br>
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.<br>
