Hi NCL,

I think you misunderstanding my previous question. I was looking for a
place to upload my sample file of Daymet in order that you or other
specialist can have a look (I've already downloaded the file)

My question is particularly on the daymet data regridding using average
method.

k = 4 (what does k mean?)
  k2 = k/2
  var_avg = new ( (/ntim, nlat/k,mlon/k /), typeof(var), getFillValue(var))
  do nl=k2,nlat-3,k
    do ml=k2,mlon-3,k
       var_avg(:,nl,ml) = avg(var(:,nl-k2:nl+k2,ml-k2:ml+k2))
    end do
  end do

  LAT2D = lat2d(k2::k,k2::k) ; subset why here need a subset?
  LON2D = lon2d(k2::k,k2::k)

Thanks,

Ping
