Weird Error

[Mary Jo Nath]

Steven,

For SST data values over land should by set equal to the missing value,
which is not the same thing as "NaN". "NaN" means "not a number", some
value that isn't able to be interpreted as a number. These usually are
produced as the result of an invalid operation on floating point values
(like trying to take the square root of a negative number, for example.)
