How do I calculate a seasonal average from certain composite years and then subtract it from that of another set of years?

Start with the UMD Carton Global Ocean Analysis dataset

Its temperature data variable is here.

  1. Select the 5S to 5N latitudinal range and the JAS season from the years in the first set (1990, 1996, 1997, 2000) and find the average of this subset of data by entering the following lines below the text already in expert mode. 
    Y (5S) (5N) RANGE
T (Jul-Sep 1990) (Jul-Sep 1996)
(Jul-Sep 1997) (Jul-Sep 2000) VALUES
[Y T]average
  2. Select the same subset of data for the years in the second set (1994, 1995, 1998, 1999) and find the average by entering the following lines below the text already in expert mode.

Y (5S) (5N) RANGE
T (Jul-Sep 1994) (Jul-Sep 1995)
(Jul-Sep 1998) (Jul-Sep 1999) VALUES
[Y T]average
  3. To subtract the second average in the stack (1994, 1995, 1998, 1999) from the first average in the stack (1990, 1996, 1997, 2000) by adding the following Ingrid command below the text you just entered in expert mode.
