Re: question about convert ECMWFds117.0 data into fix grid data

Dave Stepaniak can comment on the ERA40 vertical integrals.

However, a person came to my office just yesterday questions
the correctness of ERA40's vertical integrals.

NCL can interpolate to any resoultion...eg linint2 [linint2_Wrap]
