Hello,
I have the following arrays read as masked array.
I[10]: basic.data['Air_Temp'].mask O[10]: array([ True, False, False, ..., False, False, False], dtype=bool)
[12]: basic.data['Press_Alt'].mask O[12]: False
I[13]: len basic.data['Air_Temp'] -----> len(basic.data['Air_Temp']) O[13]: 1758
The first item data['Air_Temp'] has only the first element masked and this result with mask attribute being created an equal data length bool array. On the other hand data['Press_Alt'] has no elements to mask yielding a 'False' scalar. Is this a documented behavior or intentionally designed this way? This is the only case out of 20 that breaks my code as following: :)
IndexError Traceback (most recent call last)
130 for k in range(len(shorter)): 131 if (serialh.data['dccnTempSF'][k] != 0) \ --> 132 and (basic.data['Air_Temp'].mask[k+diff] == False): 133 dccnConAmb[k] = serialc.data['dccnConc'][k] * \ 134 physical.data['STATIC_PR'][k+diff] * \
IndexError: invalid index to scalar variable.
since mask is a scalar in this case, nothing to loop terminating with an IndexError.
Gokhan, Sorry for not getting back sooner, web connectivity was limited on my side. I must admit I can't really see what you're tring to do here, but I'll throw some random comments: * If you're using structured MaskedArrays, it's a really bad idea to call one of the fields "data", as it may interact in a non-obvious way with the actual "data" property (the one that outputs a view of the array as a pure ndarray). * if you need to test whether an array has some masked elements, try something like
myarray.mask is nomask If True, no item is masked, the mask is a boolean and you can move on. If False, then the mask is a ndarray w/ as many elements as the array and you can index it.
