helpCreate a field with lower time resolution
First fill missing data: ignore, climatology, trend, persistence.
Then apply: -day running mean with direction
Then apply new time scale:
New variable: of Z500
Minimum: % valid data
Threshold:
helpCreate a field with lower spatial resolution
Average over blocks of longitude and latitude grid cells

Area with extremes
Compute area with annual -day average minimum or maximum extreme beyond 1 in 10 yr return values.

Compute zonal mean

Compute annual cycle
