linint2_points_Wrap

Interpolates from a rectilinear grid to an unstructured grid using bilinear interpolation, and retains metadata.

Arguments

An array that specifies the X coordinates of the fi array. Most frequently, this is a 1D monotonically increasing array that may be unequally spaced. In some cases, xi can be a multi-dimensional array (see next paragraph). The rightmost dimension (call it nxi) must have at least two elements, and is the last (fastest varying) dimension of fi.

If xi is a multi-dimensional array, then each nxi subsection of xi must be monotonically increasing, but may be unequally spaced. All but its rightmost dimension must be the same size as all but fi's rightmost two dimensions.

An array that specifies the Y coordinates of the fi array. Most frequently, this is a 1D monotonically increasing array that may be unequally spaced. In some cases, yi can be a multi-dimensional array (see next paragraph). The rightmost dimension (call it nyi) must have at least two elements, and is the second-to-last dimension of fi.

If yi is a multi-dimensional array, then each nyi subsection of yi must be monotonically increasing, but may be unequally spaced. All but its rightmost dimension must be the same size as all but fi's rightmost two dimensions.

An array of two or more dimensions. The two rightmost dimensions (nyi x nxi) are the dimensions to be used in the interpolation. If missing values are present, the attribute fi@_FillValue must be set appropriately.

An option to indicate whether the rightmost dimension of fi is cyclic.

This should be set to True only if you have global data, but your longitude values don't quite wrap all the way around the globe. For example, if your longitude values go from, say, -179.75 to 179.75, or 0.5 to 359.5, then you would set this to True.

One-dimensional array that specifies the X (longitude) coordinates of the unstructured grid.

One-dimensional array that specifies the Y (latitude) coordinates of the unstructured grid. It must be the same length as xo.

Reserved for future use. Currently not used.

Description

This function is identical to linint2_points, except the return value will have metadata added based on metadata attached to fi. See the linint2_points page for full documentation and examples.
