Ok, the first thing to check is if the problem is in the netcdf-c
library or in ncview. Try dumping the variable in question using
ncdump and the -v option.

p.s. If the netcdf file is not too large, then you can send it to me
at dmh at ucar dot edu.

Hi,
I just was surprised by strange results from ncview when reading a
variable with 'short' values, where all data is undefined. ncview reads
all data with nc_geta_vara_float.
_FillValues are defined as -32767s. Reading undefined data with
nc_get_vara_float results in values = -0 or 0 for all _FillValues. I had
expected a value like -32767.f (or more generally, the _FillValue
translated into float)
Is the 0-result really the expected behaviour of nc_get_vara_float? I
have then no idea how to handling _FillValues correctly.
Best regards,
Heiko
