Hi Suvarchal,
I probably didn't understand your area averaged correctly,
are you looking for something like: global averaged of surface temperature.
If so, you can certainly use the formula:
GridMath.applyFunctionOverLevels(S, GridMath.FUNC_AVERAGE)
and the input field S can be a temperature at the certain level. If you
want to average a specific region of your dataset, you can do the subset
first on the dataset property window. To subset a certain time steps, you
probably want to do it in the dataset property window, it is very flexible
to do it this way than calling a formula.
