<p class="MsoNormal">Dear NCL group,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am having a similar question as this post <a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/talk_archives/2011/1499.html">
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/talk_archives/2011/1499.html</a> but unfortunately i didn’t get it..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a 1D data set (station data) as shown below. I would like to filter out the lower orders (order smaller than 2). I do this using “where”, so I get lots of missing values for those stations with lower orders. But these values take
lots of space, so I want to get rid of them and output a much lighter data only for the stations with non-missing values. Below is what my data and my NCL script look like. Could you please take a look and advice? With my script I am still having all the
missing value in my output.<o:p></o:p></p>
