Hi Zhan,
I assume you are using ncdump to look at the NetCDF file. If so, you should be aware that ncdump always shows values equal to the _FillValue as a "_", no matter what the _FillValue is set to.

The variable description in the file header shows that the "FillValue" for missing data is 1.e+20f, however, the "FillValue" in the data are shown as "_" in the netcdf file. The command I used was: ncl_convert2nc filename
