[1] The NCEP data are North ==> South.
     The functions want South ==> North

     See Example 5 at
     http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/wind.shtml

[2] Technically, the spherical harmonics give "highly accurate" results.

[3] In the following, please read *all* the appropriate documentation.

    Regrid: See Example 9 at
             http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/regrid.shtml

    or
             See Example 1 at
             http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/ESMF.shtml

             Use: INTERP_METHOD = "conservative"

Change:

;---Destination file options
     Opt@DstGridType = "5x5" ; 5x5 degree grid
     Opt@DstLLCorner = (/ -60.d, 0.d/)
     Opt@DstURCorner = (/ 60.d, 355.d/)

To:
;---Destination file options
     Opt@DstGridType = "2.5x2.5"

You do not need the 'DstLLCorner' and 'DstURCorner' because
you are creating a global grid but uopu can keep them by stting:

     Opt@DstLLCorner = (/ -90.d, 0.d/)
     Opt@DstURCorner = (/ 90.d, 357.5.d/)
