Interesting. Do we know where this file came from and how this value was generated?
Thanks Ryan for the quick reply. This is in the global attributes (XXXX added by me):
Info :
Monthly ERA-Interim data. Downloaded and edited by fabien.maussion@XXXXXXX
Maybe @fmaussion can shed some light.
Does Xarray write these sorts of attributes itself? Or do they come from the data provider?
Xarray is able to write these attributes, but for int16 dtype NaN does not make any sense. I'd consider that a bug.
But maybe someone with more knowledge on ERA5 has some idea what a correct _FillValue would be.
The file
eraint_uvz.nc
contains variables which do not conform to CF standard.Below is the ncdump of the z-variable of dtype
int16
but the_FillValue
isNaN
. According to CF conventions_FillValue
should be of same type as its variable.ncdump:
