Variable tempanomaly (Temperature anomaly) in Celsius
The associated land/sea mask is available for some operations

Get grid points, average area or generate subset

Latitude:	°N - °N
Longitude:	°E - °E
Boundaries:	halfway grid points interpolated
Make:	average set of grid points subset of the field
Demand at least:	% valid points in this region
Considering:	everything land points sea points show/hide more only land points only sea points not land points not sea points

Create a field with lower time resolution

New time scale:	annual (Jul-Jun) annual (Jan-Dec) seasonal monthly 10-daily 5-daily daily
New variable:	mean sd sum sum above sum below number min time of min max time of max first time last time of T2m/SST anom
Threshold:	no cut less than greater than Celsius percentile normal 1971-2000
