Ibraheem,

I still don't have enough information. Subsets of your data has
missing values, so the dim_rmvmean is going to give you missing values
back. This is not an error, but the correct way in which "dim_rmvmean"
behaves. You are basically calculating the average of
an array of all missing values, so there's nothing to do but return
a missing value. These missing values are detected by
the presence of your "_FillValue" attribute, which indicates the
value of your missing value.

You need to be more specific about what you are expecting out of your
script.

It would help if you can send your script, and explain in more detail
why you think there's an error.
