cf.Field.missing_value

Field.missing_value

The missing_value CF attribute.

This attribute is forced to be consistent with the _FillValue 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.missing_value = 1e30
>>> f.missing_value
1e30
>>> f._FillValue
1e30
>>> del f.missing_value
>>> f._FillValue
1e30
