nctoolkit.DataSet.bottom_mask

DataSet.bottom_mask()

bottom_mask: Create a mask identifying the deepest cell without missing values..

This converts a dataset to a mask identifying which cell represents the bottom, for example the seabed. 1 identifies the deepest cell with non-missing values. Everything else is 0, or missing.

Note

This will only work for single file datasets. The method will modify the dataset in place, so make a copy if you want to keep the original.

Examples

If you wanted to create a mask identifying the bottom, you would do this:

>>> ds.bottom_mask()
