    Hello,

    NCL invokes a weight array generated by the SCRIP program.
    NCL does not generate the required weights.

    So somehow you will have to get or generate the appropriate weights.
    I have not used SCRIP so I can not offer any advice.

    When you say "to a SSM/I polar stereographic projection".
    What do you mean?

    I know you have an account on SCD systems.

    An NCL script that loops over mutiple files and
    plots the input POP and output 1x1 grids on a polar
    sterographic projection is at:

      /fis/cgd/home/shea/ncld/TEST/cdeser/ssmi.DailyRemap.ncl
      
    This script may be *much* more complicated than
    what you might need. It reads/remaps/plots/create netCDF [variable type short]

    The real key is the wgt file. In the above example, the file
    is map_gx1v3_1x1d_bilin_da_010808.nc. For historical reasons
    it is accessed via:

         z1x1 = PopLatLon(zPop,"gx1v3","1x1d","bilin","da","010808")
         
    You can see both original POP grid and interpolated fields at

    tempest: /ptmp/shea/SSMI_1x1/

    any of the following:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 shea ncar 1684652 Mar 7 08:27 ssmi.remap.1995.ps
    -rw-r--r-- 1 shea ncar 1602813 Mar 7 08:27 ssmi.remap.2000.ps
    -rw-r--r-- 1 shea ncar 1660938 Mar 7 08:27 ssmi.remap.2001.ps

    In this case the variable being plotted is ice fraction/
