Issue relating to warning message from CMOR

Open ehogan opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

Good morning :)

The following warning message appears in some of our CMOR logs:

Warning: Invalid value(s) detected for variable 'vertices_latitude' (table: grids): 
1943040 values were greater than maximum valid value (90).Maximum encountered bad 
value (1e+30) was at (axis: index/value): j: 0/0 i: 0/0 vertices: 0/0

The coordinate variables in the input netCDF files all contain a _FillValue attribute, which is equal to 1.e_30f. This is equal to the value of the _FillValue attribute of the data variables in the input netCDF files and also to the value that is provided to cmor_variable.

In CMOR, where this warning is generated, the check of whether the values are greater/lower than the maximum/minimum value is being performed assuming the missing_value is 1.e20, rather than the value provided by cmor_variable.

Would it be possible to update CMOR to use the missing_value provided by cmor_variable so that these warnings aren't printed?
