Re: linear interpolation

Hi Dennis,
   Thanks for your suggestions and it works fine. Except that the longitudes
from the two nc files do not match. The longitudes from one file are ranged
from -179.5 to +179.5 and the ones from the other file are from 0 to 357.
When I did the linear interpolation, only the values for longitudes 0 to
179.0 retain and there are no values for longitudes from -179.5 to 0. Any
suggestions?
  Thank you for your help!
