[ncl-talk] _FillValue directly from a file variable

[Mateus da Silva Teixeira]

Hi Toni,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry for not being more specific. Actually, I have more than 30 GRIB 1/2
files and I would like to define a single variable (with new function) to
hold data from all files. Part of these files are in GRIB 1 format and
other part is in GRIB 2. Also, variable name changes from GRIB 1 to GRIB 2
format, even the files coming from same source (GFS ANL). So, I want, after
working with these differences, to put all data into the same array.

Thanks,

mateus
