replace or remove/eliminate?

replace

     p1 = ndtooned( prec )
     i = ind(ismissing(p1)) ; all missing values
     if (.not.all(ismissing(i))) then
         p1(i) = ...
         prec = onedtond(p1, dimsizes(prec)) ; original array
     end if
     delete(p1)
     delete( i)

remove: this means to eliminate one value from the 3D array? to what array?

     p1 = ndtooned( prec )
     i = ind(.not.ismissing(p1)) ; all non-missing values
     if (.not.all(ismissing(i))) then
         pNew = p1(i) ; pNew is 1D
         copy_VarAtts (prec, pNew) ; copy attributes
     else
         print("No missing values")
     end if

     You can not have the same coordinate variables because
     you have eliminated a value ....

I am sure I have misunderstood what you want.
