No. _FillValue is an attribute not a coordinate.
y@_FillValue = x@_FillValue
--- That said there are a couple of approaches to copying attributes and coordinate variablesLet's say "tf" is the new variable and "tc" is the current variable
tf = tc ; tf is an exact copy of tc ; including meta data .. _FillVallue tf = 1.8*tc +32 ; tf has new calculated values and ; retains all meta data tf@units = "Farenheit" ; update specific attributes to ; reflect new information --- TC = 1.8*tc +32 ; TC is a new variable with the same ; shape/size as tc but has no meta data ; *except* _FillValue which is copied/ copy_VarCoords (tc, TF) ; explicitly copy coordinate variab;es TC@long_name = tc@long_name TC@units = "deg F" ---
