Hello
[1] Yes, it is designed to work with a lat/lon grid.
However, it is designed to work with grids
that can described by one dimensional lat/lon grids.
This includes unequally spaced grids like gaussian grids.
This functio was designed to work with grids commonly
used by climate models or reanalysis data sets.
[2] I'm not sure what you mean. Say XLAT and XLONG are 2D
lat2d = f->XLAT
lon2d = f->XLONG
lat = lat2d(:,0) ; 0 or the mid point
lon = lon2d(:,0) ;
print(lat) ; make sure it is monotonically increasing
print(lon)
Then use linint2_points ...
"accurate" ???
I guess it would depend on the application.
I think you would have to examine this on your own.
