Re: Contouring missing values of 850 mb specific humidity due to terrain

Dear Phillip,

I am not sure that I understand your question correctly.

The following may work for you.

WRF1D = ndtooned(WRF2D) ; WRF2D (mlon,nlat)
NARR1D= ndtooned(NARR2D) ; NARR2D(mlon,nlat)

NARR1D(ind(ismissing(WRF1D)))= -999 ; where missing value= -999

NARR2d = onedtond(NARR1D, (/mlon,nlat/))

This will replace the NARR data with missing values where WRF out put
has missing values

Good luck
