@BeginDescription
This module computes statistical values over time steps of the same month.
Depending on the actual operator the minimum, maximum, sum, average 
or standard deviation of time steps of the same month is written to @file{ofile}.
The date information for a time step in @file{ofile} is the date of the last 
contributing time step in @file{ifile}.
