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)
