cf.Field._FillValue

Field._FillValue

The _FillValue CF attribute.

This attribute is forced to be consistent with the missing_value attribute as follows:

  • Assigning a value to the missing_value attribute also assigns the same value to the _FillValue attribute whether the latter has been previously set or not.
  • Assigning a value to the _FillValue attribute also assigns the same value to the missing_value attribute, but only if the latter has previously been defined.

Examples

>>> f._FillValue = -1e30
