Something fancier I think,
I am able to compare the result with my previous method so I can easily see
I am doing something wrong.
see code below:
all_TSFC=[]
for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(MainFolder):
for dir in dirs:
print dir
path=path+'/'
for ncfile in files:
if ncfile[-3:]=='.nc':
print "dealing with ncfiles:", ncfile
ncfile=os.path.join(path,ncfile)
ncfile=Dataset(ncfile, 'r+', 'NETCDF4')
TSFC=ncfile.variables['T_SFC'][:]
fillvalue=ncfile.variables['T_SFC']._FillValue
TSFC=MA.masked_values(TSFC, fillvalue)
ncfile.close()
all_TSFC.append(TSFC)
a=TSFC[0]
for b in TSFC[1:]:
N.maximum(a,b,out=a)
big_array=N.ma.concatenate(all_TSFC)
Max=big_array.max(axis=0)
print "max is", Max,"a is", a
