PopLatLon

Regrids a scalar variable on a POP grid to a lat/lon grid or vice-versa.

Prototype

	procedure PopLatLon (
		x          : numeric,  
		grd_src    : string,   
		grd_dst    : string,   
		method     : string,   
		area_type  : string,   
		date       : string    
	)

	return_val  :  numeric

Arguments

The 3 or 4 dimensional variable to be regridded. Typically, the variable has dimensions like (time,lat,lon) or (time,lev,lat,lon).

String specifying the POP model grid: eg, "gx1v3"

String specifying the output grid: eg, "1x1d", "1.9x2.5"

String specifying the method used to interpolate/regrid. There are two choices: "bilin" or "area".

String specifying the area "da"

String specifying the date the weight file was generated: eg, "010808"

Description

For historical reasons, the substrings are used to create the name of the weight file to be used. (The weight file is not generated by NCL.)
