Full metadata. The associated land/sea mask is available for some operations

Get grid points, average area or generate subset

Mask:	no mask   add a mask to the list
Latitude:	°N - °N
Longitude:	°E - °E
Boundaries:	halfway grid points interpolated
Make:	average max min set of grid points subset of the field
Considering:	everything land points sea points show/hide more only land points only sea points not land points not sea points

New variable:	mean sd sum sum above sum below number min time of min max time of max first time last time of Z500
Threshold:	no cut less than greater than m2 s-2 percentile normal 1971-2000
Minimum:	% valid data
First apply:	-day running mean
Missing data:	ignore, climatology, trend, persistence.
