GriddedData2AreaMeanTimeSeries

This program computes a time series of area mean values in a basin represented by border from a sequence of grid files. If a file is not found, the epoch is skipped. Per default the weighted average of all points in the given border is computed where the points are weighted by their area element.

If computeMean is set, the time average of each grid points is subtracted before the computation. If multiplyWithArea is set, the weighted average is multiplied with the total basin area. This is useful for computing the total mass in the basin.

The outputfileTimeSeries is an instrument file, where the first columns are the mean value each data column in the grid files, followed by the the weighted RMS for each data column in the grid files if computeRms is set. If the number of data columns differs between the grid files, the remaining columns are padded with zeros.
