Adolf,
Perhaps, this may be a solution to your problem. Do a running average,
in your case, a 3 -point running mean, first over longitude and then
latitude or whichever way.
Suppose your original data is over (x1,y1); (x2,y2); (x3,y3) ... etc
A 3-point centered running mean is applied to this on the longitude
dimension. Then point (x2,y2) of the processed array is an average over
the 3 longitudes, x1,x2,x3. The running mean over the lat-direction then
makes it an area-average. (you should, if needed, weigh these averages
appropriately to take care of area-changes with latitude). Writing out
every 3rd value in longitude and latitude should give you the regridded
15x15 values.
