#'Box-And-Whisker Plot of Time Series with Ensemble Distribution
#'
#'Produce time series of box-and-whisker plot showing the distribution of the 
#'members of a forecast vs. the observed evolution. The correlation between
#'forecast and observational data is calculated and displayed. Only works for 
#'n-monthly to n-yearly time series. 
#'
#'@param exp Forecast array of multi-member time series, e.g., the NAO index 
#'  of one experiment. The expected dimensions are 
#'  c(members, start dates/forecast horizons). A vector with only the time 
#'  dimension can also be provided. Only monthly or lower frequency time 
#'  series are supported. See parameter freq.
#'@param obs Observational vector or array of time series, e.g., the NAO index 
#'  of the observations that correspond the forecast data in \code{exp}.
#'  The expected dimensions are c(start dates/forecast horizons) or 
#'  c(1, start dates/forecast horizons). Only monthly or lower frequency time 
#'  series are supported. See parameter freq.
#'@param toptitle Character string to be drawn as figure title.
#'@param ytitle Character string to be drawn as y-axis title.
#'@param monini Number of the month of the first time step, from 1 to 12.
#'@param yearini Year of the first time step.
#'@param freq Frequency of the provided time series: 1 = yearly, 12 = monthly, 
#  4 = seasonal, ... Default = 12.
#'@param expname Experimental dataset name.
#'@param obsname Name of the observational reference dataset.
#'@param drawleg TRUE/FALSE: whether to draw the legend or not.
#'@param fileout Name of output file. Extensions allowed: eps/ps, jpeg, png, 
#'  pdf, bmp and tiff. \cr
#'  Default = 'output_PlotBox.ps'.
#'@param width File width, in the units specified in the parameter size_units 
#'  (inches by default). Takes 8 by default.
#'@param height File height, in the units specified in the parameter 
#'  size_units (inches by default). Takes 5 by default.
#'@param size_units Units of the size of the device (file or window) to plot 
#'  in. Inches ('in') by default. See ?Devices and the creator function of the 
#'  corresponding device.
#'@param res Resolution of the device (file or window) to plot in. See 
#'  ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.
#'@param ... Arguments to be passed to the method. Only accepts the following
#'  graphical parameters:\cr
#'  ann ask bg cex.lab cex.sub cin col.axis col.lab col.main col.sub cra crt 
#'  csi cxy err family fg fig font font.axis font.lab font.main font.sub lend
