missing values in netCDF

Added by Jascha Lehmann over 12 years ago

Hello dear helpers,

I just used

cdo selmon,1 file.nc file_Jan.nc

to extract data from all Januarys in a netCDF file.
The problem I have is that during this operation the attribute "missing_value=32767s" is beeing changed to "_Fillvalue=32767s".
If I now open the newly created netCDF file in R all the entries with 32767s are NOT treated as NAs but as if they had this value.

With setmissval I can change the missing value but this value is still saved in "_FillValue" and therefore not accepted by R.

Does anyone have an idea, how I can change "_FillValue" to "missing_value" again?

Cheers,
Josch
