I would use bilinear interpolation. Using spherical harmonics
when the variable has a lower or upper limit [eg, 0 and/or 100]
could produce spectral ringing.
The 793393 seem bogus ...
bilinear interpolation [linint2_Wrap] allows _FillValue.
Unless you need all the grid poinys filled, I would set the
bogus points _FillValue. If you need all grid values filled,
then let the 'physics' dictate a reasonable value to use.
Good luck
