Hola,

The netCDF operators NCO version 2.9.5 are ready.

http://nco.sf.net (Homepage)
http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco (Homepage "mirror")

This release fixes a problem with ncflint interpolations
when one of the two inputs is a missing_value.
The previous algorithm was non-commutative, i.e., the result
depended on the order the files were specified.
It was also non-intuitive in that it returned the weighted valid datum
rather than the unweighted valid datum or just missing_value.
The new alorithm is commutative, and much more conservative.
Now, when either input datum is a missing_value, the result
is missing_value as well.

I am willing to implement other ncflint algorithms if there is
interest. If you have an opinion about this, please read the new
documentation at

http://nco.sf.net/nco.html#ncflint

and post your preferences to the NCO discussion forum at

http://sf.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9829

Enjoy,
Charlie
