Extracting monthly means and anomalies
I have a gisst.nc file with array "sst" monthly from 1871 - 1991. It's a
4D file: longitudes(i), latitudes(j), level(k=1), year(l) so it already
has a time axis with values like 1950 , 1950.083 , (for jan, feb 1950) to
1991.833 , 1991.916 , 1992.
I would like to extract (and later use for plotting):
(a) a mean climatology, say sstm (containing 12 monthly mean values) to
gisst_m.nc, over say years 1950-1991. This means averaging every 12th
value from the gisst.nc file.
(b) monthly anomalies: i.e., using both "sst" from gisst.nc and "sstm"
from gisst_m.nc, to calculate monthly anomalies over the same period
1950-1991 and write them out, say to "ssta" in a file gisst_a.nc.
Can you suggest a way to do this?
