Hi all,

I noticed, what I believe is an Error when converting a Byte Image from geotiff to Netcdf. In the newest Gdal Version (trunk from Monday),  it reports the correkt NoData Value (in older gdal Version  i tested this 1.11 this was also incorrekt) but it reports the _FillValue as -1 while reporting that the Dataset is _Unsigned. This looks like the FillValue is written as a signed byte (For Na=254 it reports fillvalue=-2).

Is this difference between noData and _FillValue intentional? And is there any way to "fix" the FillValue in my Netcdf ?

I ran  gdal_translate example.tif example.nc -of netCDF

The tiff reports the (korrekt) NaValue as :

Band 1 Block=2000x4 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Gray
  NoData Value=255

While in the NetCDF I get :

Band 1 Block=2000x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Undefined
  NoData Value=255
  Metadata:
    grid_mapping=transverse_mercator
    long_name=GDAL Band Number 1
    NETCDF_VARNAME=Band1
    valid_range={0,255}
    _FillValue=-1
    _Unsigned=true

Best


Julian
