Average data along x/y axis of a rectangle

Average data along x/y axis of a ractangle, and plot vertical distribution of the average data.

data = f['uwnd'][0,:,'10:40','70:130']
data = mean(data, axis=1)
lev1 = data.dimvalue(0)
#lev2 = 1000 - lev1
lev2 = p2h(lev1)
levels = []
for i in range(0, len(lev1)):
    levels.append('%i' % lev1[i])
data.setdimvalue(0, lev2)
#Plot
layer = contourf(data, 20)
colorbar(layer)
yticks(lev2, levels)
