The NAFM region in monsoon_wang driver is for North African Monsoon, 310E to 60E (as in below figure).

However, with region defined as longitude=(310, 60), the area considered is from 60E to 310E (mirrored, as in below figure).

NAFM

import cdms2
import vcs
f = cdms2.open('CanCM4_NAFM_wang-monsoon.nc')
d = f('variable_993')
x = vcs.init()
x.png('NAFM.png')

In the PMP's driver for the Monsoon Wang metric, it opens model file with regular cdms2 open, as f = cdms2.open(modelFile).

@gleckler1 Could you point the reference paper for the Monsoon Wang index? And any idea for quick fix?
