Hello NCL Talkers,
I'm trying to do a grid interpolation using the function 'linint2' and
am having some troubles. The
dataset I am interpolating from has coordinates
lat: 89.5 to -89.5
lon: -179.5 to 179.5
the dataset I am interpolating to has coordinates
lat: -90 to 90
lon: 0 to 356.25
So, the first thing I did was to invert the variable in latitude (
-89.5 to 89.5) and then 'flip'
the variable in longitude ( 0.5 to 395.5 ). I did the same operations
to the coordinate variables
themselves because it seems they weren't changed as I was under the
impression they would be.
At this point I make a call to linint2 and get the following error
warning:linint2: xi, yi, xo, and yo must be monotonically
increasing
I am confused because I believe that my x's and y's are monotonically
increasing.
I've included the code fragment below, followed by output from
printVarSummary() statements.
(I apologize for the length of this email, but I wanted to give all
relevant information).
Any suggestions of what may be going on would be appreciated.
Thank you, Matt
