How do you get a global average at each time step so they can be summed?

I have a 4D array of emissions. I want the average emissions at each time step so that I can then sum all of these averages and determine the total emissions by a certain year (in this case the entire file).
I think that I need to use a loop but am not sure how. I am currently using this: mean_time=sum(squeeze(mean(mean(mean(total,1),2),3))); as time is the 4th dimension.

What do you think is wrong with this, it is better to use vectorized code instead of using for loop. Also the above is equivalent to
mean_time = sum(mean(mean(mean(total))));

The only problem I was seeing was that I couldn't get a specific time from this which I think is just throwing my logic off. For example, if I wanted timestep 5 rather than the sum of the entire thing.

If you want to average at each time step as by omitting the sum() function. For example
averageTimeSteps = mean(mean(mean(total)));
if total is a 4D matrix, the above command will produce a 1D vector. You can access element just as a regular vector e.g. averageTimeSteps(1), averageTimeSteps(2), ... etc. However, the result is still a 4D matrix so display might be a bit confusing. To simplify the display, try
averageTimeSteps = squeeze(mean(mean(mean(total))));
