@NikiDab : Can you add some tests to make sure the changes work as intended? Thanks.

[NikiDab]

@leewujung Sure, I will do that. I will take a similar approach as last time to add a code snippet for testing. Should I supply the test data too? I already have one from the previous issue I was working on; should I use that one?

[leewujung]

@NikiDab : sure.

[NikiDab]

@leewujung: I am completing the section for testing. I need a mask to apply to the data. Could you please share some data for the mask, or do you want me to generate something myself? Thanks.

[leewujung]

@NikiDab : I think for this, mocking up small datasets/datarrays will be better for testing.
