[ncl-talk] comform 2 1d vectors to same length

[Mary Haley]

Marson,

I didn't see a response to this, but apologies if this is a duplicate.

The issue is that anytime you do an array comparison like:

  thour.eq.phour

The two arrays must be exactly the same dimension size.

If I understand what you are asking for, then this code illustration might
help. It shows how to remove elements from x1 that also exist in x2:

x1 = (/1,2,3,4,5,6/)   ; list of numbers we want to remove values from

x2 = (/3,5,7,9/)       ; list of values we want to remove from x1
x1_copy = x1
x1_copy at _FillValue = default_fillvalue(typeof(x1))

;
; Loop through each element in x2 and if it exists
; in x1, then set the corresponding index in x1 to
; missing.                                                         ;


do n=0,dimsizes(x2)-1
  ii := ind(x1.eq.x2(n))
  if(.not.any(ismissing(ii))) then
    x1_copy(ii) = x1_copy at _FillValue
  end if
end do

;---Remove all the missing values from x1_copy and assign to new variable

x1_reduced = x1_copy(ind(.not.ismissing(x1_copy)))
print(x1_reduced)    ; should be 1, 2, 4, 6
