Excellent, thank you. I just realised this does not work with my data because of the extra dimension. I have a mask that matches my 2-dimensional array but my data is for every hour over a month so the arrays do not match. Is there a way to make them match or mask each time? thanks again
This is some of my code: for ncfile in files: if ncfile[-3:]=='.nc': print "dealing with ncfiles:", path+ncfile ncfile=os.path.join(path,ncfile) ncfile=Dataset(ncfile, 'r+', 'NETCDF4') TSFC=ncfile.variables['T_SFC'][:] TIME=ncfile.variables['time'][:] fillvalue=ncfile.variables['T_SFC']._FillValue TSFC=MA.masked_values(TSFC, fillvalue) ncfile.close() TSFC=MA.masked_array(TSFC, mask=newmask.mask) On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 11:21 AM, Olivier Delalleau <sh...@keba.be> wrote: > If your new array is x, you can use: > > numpy.ma.masked_array(x, mask=mask.mask) > > -=- Olivier > > 2011/11/21 questions anon <questions.a...@gmail.com> > >> I am trying to mask one array using another array. >> >> I have created a masked array using >> mask=MA.masked_equal(myarray, >> 0), >> that looks something like: >> [1 - - 1, >> 1 1 - 1, >> 1 1 1 1, >> - 1 - 1] >> >> I have an array of values that I want to mask whereever my mask has a a >> '-'. >> how do I do this? >> I have looked at >> http://www.cawcr.gov.au/bmrc/climdyn/staff/lih/pubs/docs/masks.pdf but >> the command: >> >> d = array(a, mask=c.mask() >> >> results in this error: >> TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable >> >> I basically want to do exactly what that article does in that equation. >> >> Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. >> >> _______________________________________________ >> NumPy-Discussion mailing list >> NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org >> http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion > >
