Describe the New Feature

Incorporate the zonal and meridional means needed to compute stratospheric metrics into METplus.

Acceptance Testing

I've been testing with the ERA on glade, but this was also suggested: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/sudden-stratospheric-warming-compendium/access/

Time Estimate

Estimate the amount of work required here.
Issues should represent approximately 1 to 3 days of work.

Sub-Issues

Consider breaking the new feature down into sub-issues.

• Read in stratospheric data and put it into the format required for the means calculation METdataio#66
• Add Zonal and Meridional mean calculation from basic.py METcalcpy#126
• Create Plots for the Stratosphere Diagnostics METplotpy#170
