The program requires 4 or more grids as the error message states. At any grid point, if there are fewer than 4 values, the STD calculation will be set to missing. If you have only three times, you can use GDDIAG and sum the three grids and divide. GFUNC = quo(sum(s1,sum(s2,s3)),3) Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: "Anh Dao Nguyen" <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200510260945.j9Q9jk3j000288 >Institution: NCHMF >Package Version: GEMPAK5.7.4 >Operating System: Linux >Hardware Information: 160GB hardware vollumn >Inquiry: Hello, >I am trying on computing the average of grids in three time steps but it seems > to be error.
