#152 assigned defect

Put _FillValue attribute in all util programs

Description

A problem related to "missing_value" attributes in NetCDF files and their treatment by NCO (also explained here ​https://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Missing-Values) :

  • for NCO versions < 3.9.2, it is the missing_value attribute that is recognized
  • for NCO versions >= 3.9.2, it is the _FillValue attribute that is recognized, and the missing_value attribute is ignored

For now, all our util programs' output files have a missing_value attribute, and no _FillValue attribute, which is problematic if you use NCO commands with versions >=3.9.2
=> add a second attribute _FillValue in all output files written by the util programs, and also add a check on this attribute when util program are checking on missing_value attribute
