max()

max(expr, dim1, dim2 <,tinc>)

Returns the maximum of expr over the specified dimension range. If the specified dimension is time, an optional time increment tincr may be specified.

expr    - any valid GrADS expression
dim1    - the starting dimension expression
dim2    - the ending dimension expression

dim1 and dim2 are standard GrADS dimension expressions whose dimensions must match.

1. Related functions are: maxloc, min, and minloc.
   These functions will only work with GrADS version 1.8 or later.

Examples

1. To calculate the maximum value of the precip variable over the lon-lat domain, use nested max functions:

   d max(max(precip,lon=0,lon=360),lat=-90,lat=90)
