Computes Seasonal Means
}
\description{
Computes seasonal means on timeseries organized in a array of any number of dimensions up to 10 dimensions where the time dimension is one of those 10 dimensions.
}
\usage{
Season(var, posdim = 4, monini, moninf, monsup)
}
\arguments{
  \item{var}{
Array containing the timeseries along one of its dimensions.
  }
  \item{posdim}{
Dimension along which to compute seasonal means = Time dimension
  }
  \item{monini}{
First month of the time series: 1 to 12.
  }
  \item{moninf}{
Month when to start the seasonal means: 1 to 12.
  }
  \item{monsup}{
Month when to stop the seasonal means: 1 to 12.
  }
}
\value{
Array with the same dimensions as var except along the posdim dimension whose length corresponds to the number of seasons. Partial seasons are not accounted for.
}
\examples{
# Load sample data as in Load() example:
example(Load)
leadtimes_dimension <- 4
initial_month <- 11
mean_start_month <- 12
mean_stop_month <- 2
season_means_mod <- Season(sampleData$mod, leadtimes_dimension, initial_month,
                           mean_start_month, mean_stop_month)
season_means_obs <- Season(sampleData$obs, leadtimes_dimension, initial_month,
                           mean_start_month, mean_stop_month)
