Some discussion of disk storage might also help. I don't see how the rules can be enforced if two files are used, one for the mask and another for the data, but that may just be something we need to live with.
It seems it wouldn't be too big deal to extend the *.npy format to include the mask. Could one memmap both the data array and the mask? Netcdf (and assume hdf) have ways to support masks as well. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
