This is actually a bit tricky -- as there is that, IIUC, there is an "internal" fill value set in netCDF that should be kept in sync with the attribute. I may be confusing things, as that "internal" one may only be a default, but there have been issues with them getting out of sync. If NCO or CDO has a "change fill value" command, that would be great -- I'd look for that. > Having said that, NaN is usually "safer" in that its use causes error, > making your bugs easier to spot. > agreed, I like NaN as a fill value, but there's a downside -- NaN dpes not equal NaN, so code that does: if something == fill_value: Will not work.
