Re: rcm2points

Dear Agnes,

[1] I guess that you are trying to store the interpolated data in 3
dimensional array while your input is also three dimensional which causes
this error.
If your input is 3d array suppose x(lv_ISBL2, nx,ny) and you are
interpolating to the specified locations (m-number of points) using
rcm2points function, then your output should be two dimensional array
y(lv_ISBL2,m). Please check the example 1
(http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/rcm2points.shtml)

[2] I believe that you are trying to interpolate from one curvilinear
grid (WRF) to another curvilinear grid (NAM). Please try following steps:

; convert NAM 2d lat, lon to 1d

  lat1d_nam = ndtooned(lat2d_nam); dimension gridx_218 x gridy_218
  lon1d_nam = ndtooned(lon2d_nam); dimension gridx_218 x gridy_218

; Preform the interpolation
ctrl_ghgt_wrf1d =rcm2points(lat2d,lon2d,ctrl_wrf_GHGT,lat1d_nam,lon1d_nam,2)

; output dimension should be (lv_ISBL2, m = gridx_218xgridy_218)
; Convert points to lat, lon

 ctrl_ghgt_wrf = onedtond(ndtooned( ctrl_ghgt_wrf1d), (/lv_ISBL2,
gridx_218, gridy_218/))

printVarSummary(ctrl_ghgt_wrf)

Hope this will help you
