Re: help with regridding

Hi Adam,

I'd prefer doing some kind of area average, but subsampling will
probably suffice, however the newlat and newlons as defined below are
not in finarr (e.g., it goes from 39.9375 to 40.0925, so no 40.0). I
guess I could change the newlat/newlon values to ones that are in
finarr, although I really need to output data at the specified lat/
lons in newlat and newlon (38., 40. etc).

However, if there's a way to do an area average for this data, that's
what I'd prefer. (FWIW, I've also put the data where the images are,
see below)

Thanks for the suggestion, something I obviously wasn't thinking
about and will play with it to see what I can come up with.
