Re: Question of natgrid

natgrid and dspnt2 are designed to interpolate triplets
(x[*], y[*], z[*]) to rectilinear grids as indicated by the documentation.

linint2_points interpolates from a rectilinear grid to
arbitrarily specified coordinate pairs using bilinear
interpolation.

To clarify your problem:
can your problem be described in the following manner?
    M = 161  , lat(M), lon(M), z(M)
    N = 45320, LAT(N), LON(N)    , LAT/LON are irregular (random)
Interpolate, the 'random' {lat,lon,z} triplet to a 'random'
{LAT,LON,Z} triplet?
If so,  currently, there is no built-in function in NCL that does this.
