improve the content of Standard operators and functions to make it more obvious that ccdo_ens is The Way (this is the Way, as the Mandalorians would put it) to compute ensemble means and other similar and vital operations. I don't like the swiss knives section title that does not help at all. And also mention explicitly ensavg or ensmean (see also the avg vs mean discussion in #203) and give a link to the relevant part of the cdo manual (e.g. ENSSTAT - Statistical values over an ensemble or Statistical values)
The way to perform ensemble means is described in the last notebook we've done together during the last hour of the practicals: working with a CMIP5 and a CMIP6 ensemble, calculating an ensemble mean and the difference between those and observations, and lastly make some multiplots and possibly other notebooks available from the CliMAF Documentation home page.
Unfortunately, you can't search the content of the notebooks from the CliMAF Documentation home page Quick search field
So, if you want to do something really useful like an ensemble mean and don't know/remember how to do it, you either have to
It seems that, for now, the ensemble mean is only briefly shown as an example in the ccdo_ens : invoke CDO with a unary operator on an ensemble of datasets page. Moreover, the cens : define an ensemble of objects documentation mentions ensemble-capable and ensemble-dumb operators without telling where the user can find what is available
A documentation page (not a non-searchable notebook) dedicated to ensembles would probably help.
A possible easy way to improve things (before creating an ensemble documentation page) would be to
