cf.AuxiliaryCoordinate._FillValue

AuxiliaryCoordinate._FillValue

The _FillValue CF property.

Note that this attribute is primarily for writing data to disk and is independent of the missing data mask. It may, however, get used when unmasking data array elements.

The recommended way of retrieving the missing data value is with the fill_value method.

fill_value, missing_value

Examples:

>>> f._FillValue = -1.0e30
>>> f._FillValue
-1e+30
>>> del f._FillValue

Mask the data array where it equals a missing data value:

>>> f.setitem(cf.masked, condition=f.fill_value()) DCH
