"""Return the variable on the unstaggered grid.
This function destaggers the variable by taking the average of the
values located on either side of the grid box.
Args:
var (:class:`xarray.DataArray` or :class:`numpy.ndarray`): A variable
on a staggered grid.
stagger_dim (:obj:`int`): The dimension index to destagger.
Negative values can be used to choose dimensions referenced
from the right hand side (-1 is the rightmost dimension).
meta (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to disable metadata and
return :class:`numpy.ndarray` instead of
:class:`xarray.DataArray`. Default is False.
Returns:
:class:`xarray.DataArray` or :class:`numpy.ndarray`:
The destaggered variable. If xarray is enabled and
the *meta* parameter is True, then the result will be a
:class:`xarray.DataArray` object. Otherwise, the result will be a
:class:`numpy.ndarray` object with no metadata.
