f2fsh_Wrap/g2gsh_Wrap use spherical harmonics to perform
the regridding. These are best applied to fields that
are not bounded (eg: zero for some fields like precipitation)
When spherical harmonics are applied to bounded fields
the results exhibit "spectral ringing" ... small oscillations
about aero in your case.
Use linint2_Wrap.

Good luck
