Question about new ESMF regridding programs

Hi,

I'm working on regridding some of the IPCC AR4 model data, and I'm having
issues regridding with the srcFile/srcGrid. I followed the example pretty
much verbatim, but my issue is I'm not sure which type of method_to_SCRIP
to use. I have the description in the header below, it's a global model (I
commented the official min/max lat/lons). I thought it would be a lat/lon,
but I'm not sure...

The script is below

Thanks for you time

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/wrf/WRFUserARW.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/esmf/ESMF_regridding.ncl"

rectilinear as well and lat/lon. (?)
