Re: [ferret_users] regriding of variable by using lat lon as a variable

Hi Ansley,

Thanks,

I tried to grid data variable using ferret link you forwarded, but there is an error in LOC transformation:

Hi,

Do the "lat" and "lon" variables represent a grid? If so, then you need to define X and Y axes which correspond to the lon/lat data. This FAQ, ../../faq/reading-ascii-data-representing-a-grid, though it discusses reading ASCII data, shows an example of defining axes using what is in lists of lat/lon values. Once you have defined the X-Y grid, then you'd use RESHAPE to put your data onto that grid. Pay attention to whether your data lists longitude varying fastest.

If the "lat" and "lon" variables represent scattered data, then you would define use one of the SCAT2GRID functions. To see a list of the options, type

yes? show function scat2grid*xy

Dear Ferret Users,

I am using ferret v 6.95 on Linux OS

I have a netcdf file with three different variables as "v1". "lat", "lon" on J-axis

How to regrid "v1" on i-axis & j-axis using "lat" and "lon". Data looks like below:

NOAA/PMEL TMAP

yes? use data.nc

yes? sh d
