Re: question about convert ECMWFds117.0 data into fix grid data

Hi Dennis:

Thank you very much for your reply. The reason using ds117.0 is that
ds118.0 does not give vertical integrals data. Following Francois's
question,
I am wondering how high-resolution of the regular grid the ERA ds117* data
can be converted to in NCL?

Thanks,

yinghui
