[ferret_users] how to extract 2D subgrid variance?



Hi all;
At times I need to extract the subgrid variance of a bed topography, and I've been using:
let hbvar=HBG[gx=XLONGRF5@var,gy=YLATGRF25@var]
! HBG is from a higher resolution data set

but have just noted (from some explicit checking and then rechecking the ferret docs):

Note: This transformation is suitable for regridding only in a single axis. When applied simultaneously to two axes, for example, it will compute the variance of the variance. For example, V[gx=130E:80W:10@VAR, gy=205:20W:10@VAR] is equivalent to tmp[X=130E:80W:10@VAR] where tmp=V[y=20S:20N:10@VAR].

So how can I regrid/extract the 2D subgrid variance?

Cheers,
