Hi Cory-

No problem. I haven't had time to look at this. We start the IDV training
workshop tomorrow so I've been getting ready for that.
Anyway...the mean is across 1 time step (mean for one forecast output time
i.e. 1 hour for me). As for the GEMPAK code...I use the function below

What does savs give you over savg. Are you subsetting by region or by level?

Okay, I understand what you are trying to do now.
I check this with what I obtain in IDL and both agree. At this stage in my
life, if I get just 2 things to agree I'm stoked (I totally ignore if both
precedures are incorrect in the same way!!).

That'll do it (except for the savs vs savg question above).
We'll put this request on the TODO list. We've got a lot of other things on
the list right now (like reading GEMPAK point/sounding files), but we might be
able to sneak it in at some point. The hard part will be to do an average at
each level instead of over the entire volume, but that's just an index space
thing.
