###Computing a zonal mean
Use Case: Computing a zonal mean
Actor: Climate/Data Scientist
Background: most fields have a strong latitudinal component and it can be easier to look at them once it has been zonally averaged.
Use Scenario:
- identify need file(s) to cover time period
- identify "zonal" dimension (longitude)
- average over "zonal" dim
- dump out result
Difficulties:
Possible variation: Use level instead of longitude average
Frequency: Medium
Criticality: Medium
Risk: Medium
