@spencerkclark yeah I was using a different platform, updated my xarray version and this works now, thanks!

@spencerkclark ```python Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/63347.rdf-xcat.SC", line 22, in <module> a = ml50_shear[0].where(ml50_shear[0] >= 11, other = 0)

NotImplementedError: The optional argument 'other' has not yet been implemented ```

@spencerkclark Oh you're right, I didn't think about that - it returns 4

Gonna try with just the first of the four

@spencerkclark ah sorry I missed line 5 - I'm not looking to get the mean, I want to make sure the unusual values are still represented. That might be why mine went wrong, it generally only works when there's just one time. Anyway, here's what I tried: ```python import xarray as xr from function_codes import sfcwinds, complete_shear, winds import os pathway = #my pathway os.chdir(pathway)

sfc_winds = sfcwinds("sfc") ml50_winds = winds("ml50") ml50_shear = complete_shear(sfc_winds, ml50_winds)

a = ml50_shear.where(ml50_shear >= 11, other = 0) b = a.where(a == 0, other = 1) pa = (b.sum('time') / b.sizes['time']) * 100 print(pa) ```

@spencerkclark following your method: python AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'where'

@spencerkclark Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try 👍

@spencerkclark python a = da.loc[date[0]] #the initial time, obviously this part doesn't work but this is the methodology b = a.where(a >= threshold, other = 0) #keeps values that satisfy the threshold, sets the rest to 0 c = b.where(b == 0, other = 1) #sets all values that satisfy the threshold to 1 new_array = zero_array + c #zero_array is just an array of the same shape without time, set to 0 runs = runs + 1 Loops through this whole thing for every time (changing the loc to date[1], date[2], etc.), then: python percentage = (new_array / runs) * 100

This is not my complete code but you should get the idea, as I said it works fine with only 1 time per day

@spencerkclark I'm creating a 2D array of the percentage of time each lon/lat coordinate exceeds a defined threshold. I did this fine before, but I was only using 1 time from each day

@spencerkclark thanks for this, using '1979-01-01T00' works which is a relief. I am trying to use the method of date[number] because I have in excess of 4,000 times to go through. Is there a way to get it to work? I figured adding the %H would work, but obviously not!

Otherwise, at least I know I can revise my code to state the datetime explicitly.
