Description
It would be nice to be able to easily compute T' = T - as a derived variable for a plotfile. This means that we need to be able to first create the lateral average, . For some problems, like gamma_law_bubble, we get around this by assuming that the background state of the atmosphere is fixed in time, and we just use the initial model as the average state. But for nova, we expect that it will expand with time, so it would be nice to be able to compute it on the fly.
