    IDL Q: How do I check for an NaN in an array, in a loop?

    So, I'm doing a loop through 612 rows of data, each row having 2592 numbers. If the number I'm looking at is NOT equal to NaN, I want to do a calculation using a different array. This way, if the element in sfc_data is not a number, the number in lat_matrix in that same column is ignored, and...
