nctoolkit.DataSet.spatial_mean

DataSet.spatial_mean(self)

Calculate the area weighted spatial mean for all variables This is performed for each time step.

Examples

If you want to calculate the spatial mean for a dataset, just do the following:

>>> ds.spatial_mean()

Note that this calculation will calculate the average using weights based on each cell’s area. If cell areas cannot be calculated, it will take a straight average, and a warning will say this.
