min

min(fs)

min(fs, other_fs)

min(fs, value)

min(fs, gpt)

Computes the point-wise minimum of fs.

Parameters

• fs (Fieldset) – input fieldset

• other_fs (Fieldset) – another input fieldset

• value (number) – input numerical value

• gpt (Geopoints) – input geopoints data

Return type

Fieldset or Geopoints

The actual behaviour of min() depends on the arguments:

• if fs is the only argument min() returns a Fieldset with a single field containing the minimum value of fs at each grid point or spectral coefficient. A missing value anywhere in fs will result in a missing value in the corresponding place in the output.

• if other_fs is specified min() returns a Fieldset containing the minimum of fs and other_fs at each grid point or spectral coefficient. A missing value anywhere in fs or other_fs will result in a missing value in the corresponding place in the output.

• if value is specified min() returns a Fieldset containing the minimum of fs and value at each grid point or spectral coefficient. A missing value anywhere in fs will result in a missing value in the corresponding place in the output.

• if gpt is specified min() returns a Geopoints containing the minimum of fs and gpt at each location in gpt. A missing value anywhere in fs or gpt will result in a Geopoints missing value in the corresponding place in the output.

min(nc, nc_other)

min(nc, value)

Returns the NetCDF of the minumum value of nc and nc_other or value.

Parameters

• nc (NetCDF) – input nectdf

• nc_other (NetCDF) – another input nectdf

• value (number) – value

Return type

NetCDF
