Otherwise it is really difficult to give you advices :) <div class=""><br class=""><div class="">Are you <u class="">sure</u> that your script is working correctly? As far as I understand the <font face="Menlo" class="">mask</font> function acts only on the values where the mask array condition is true, so in your case <font face="Menlo" class="">T2_masked</font> should be untouched, i.e. <font face="Menlo" class="">T2_masked=T2</font>. Have you tried printing or plotting the difference <font face="Menlo" class="">T2-T2_masked</font>?You should instead mask all the points that <u class="">DO NOT</u> have <font face="Menlo" class="">LU_INDEX=2</font>, as I previously suggested. Furthermore, you should set the <font face="Menlo" class="">FillValue</font> BEFORE calling mask, otherwise the <font face="Menlo" class="">True</font>, <font face="Menlo" class="">False</font> conditions will not apply correctly. If you are more confident with the <font face="Menlo" class="">where</font> syntax use something like this</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">where( LU_INDEX=2, T2(time_i,:,:), T2@_FilllValue)</font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">However you would need to do that for every time instant with a loop...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Now to the other question. <u class="">Are you really sure</u> that you want to SUBSET your data given a certain condition? If you just need to extract statistics from those data having the original array masked is the best way to go as NCL will deal with Missing Values without problems. If you instead try to subset your data you will end up with a weird shaped array, as the LU_INDEX=2 condition, I believe, is not spatially coherent like say a box or a circle. One way to go would be to convert the temperature array to a 1-D one with <font face="Menlo" class="">ndtooned</font> (<a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/ndtooned.shtml" class="">https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/ndtooned.shtml</a>), apply the <font face="Menlo" class="">ind</font> function and then convert back to a multidimensional array (Example 3 at this page is useful <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/minind.shtml" class="">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/minind.shtml</a>). But really, it is cumbersome and useless depending on what is your final goal. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think there are a lot of examples on the online guide.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Good Luck </div><div class=""><div class=""><div class="">

You should be more precise next time as generally people do not know what is LU_INDEX and what is its structure ;) </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I assume that you want to extract temperature, which is 3-D (time, lat, lon) using a mask array LU_INDEX which is 2-D (lat, lon). Again, if this assumption is wrong please be more specific. You have many choices, but I believe that for the sake of clarity you may want to go for an array which has the same dimensions but missing values where LU_INDEX is not 2. So you may want to do something like this:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">T2_masked=mask(T2, LU_INDEX.ne.2, False).</font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You need to have a Missing Value attribute set for the T2 variable of course. As a result you will get an array with the same dimensions, so that it’s easier to compare with the original one, but with Missing Values where your condition is False, so that for every computation these points will not be considered. You can achieve something similar with the where function.
