Afterwards, use "printVarSummary" and "printMinMax" to make sure the data looks okay.</div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">Second, whenever your data has multiple missing value values, you can use the "where" function</div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">First, use "-9999" as your standard missing value:</div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">rf@_FillValue = -9999</div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">Now that "-9999" is a recognized missing value, you can then coerce the -88.88 value to missing as well:</div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"> rf = where(rf.eq.-88.88,rf@_FillValue,rf)</div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv8758150122gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">Note: it's not generally a good idea to do a straight comparison of float data with "if(x.eq.12.34)" type of comparisons.
