Hello,
I have a sample masked array data as shown below.
1-) When I list the whole array I see the fill value correctly. However below that line, when I do access the 5th element, fill_value flies upto 1e+20. What might be wrong here?
Nothing. Your 5th element is the special constant numpy.ma.masked, which has its own filling_value by default. I'll check whether it's worth inheriting the fill_value from the original array. If you could give me a test case where you'd need that value to keep the original filling_value, that'd help me make up my mind.
2-) What is wrong with the arccos calculation? Should not that result the same as with cos(d) result?
Mmh, what numpy are you using ? When I try with a recent one, np.arccos does output ma.masked...
