Your tip worked fine!
Thanks a lot!
Best,

Whoops! Whoops! (I'm trying to get ready for an international
trip here...)

I *think* TOTAL will cast the finite array, which is
a byte array, into floats, but you better make sure of that.
I don't have time to. :-)

Cheers,

David

Whoops! Of course, a is the "universal variable", and in
your case will be equal to multi_bands_image. :-)

Cheers,

David

Seems to me you want this:

mean_image=total(multi_bands_image, 3, /nan) / total(finite(a),3)
