Filters
Here are some filters that are useful for manipulating data. There are actually many more available, but they have to be entered manually. See Ingrid Function Documentation for more information.- Monthly Climatology calculates a monthly climatology by averaging over all years.
- anomalies calculates the difference between the (above) monthly climatology and the original data.
- Integrate along lon lat T
- Differentiate along lon lat T
- Take differences along lon lat T
RMS (root mean square with mean *not* removed) over lon lat T | lon lat lon T lat T | lon lat T |
RMSA (root mean square with mean removed) over lon lat T | lon lat lon T lat T | lon lat T |
Maximum over lon lat T | lon lat lon T lat T | lon lat T |
Minimum over lon lat T | lon lat lon T lat T | lon lat T |
