Re: regridding of regular data onto irregular grid

[Ansley Manke <Ansley.B.Manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Arne,
You can of course use Ferret to regrid onto an irregular rectangular
grid,
but at this time not onto a grid defined by curvlinear coordinates. 
We
do have an upcoming project to tackle this, however, and it will be
in
Ferret in the not-too-distant future.

Dear Ferreters,

maybe this is already a challenge beyond the scope of Ferret, but I will
give it a try: Is Ferret able to interpolate gridded data onto an
irregular grid?

An Example: My input data are regular sea surface heights on a 1/3x1/3
Mercator grid:

  name     title                             I         J         K
  MSLA     TP/ERS-1 Sea Level Anomaly       1:1080    1:915     ...

which I would like to interpolate on a tripolar grid that is spanned by
2D latitudes and longitudes:

  name     title                             I         J         K
  NAV_LON  Longitude                        1:182     1:149     ...
  NAV_LAT  Latitude                         1:182     1:149     ...

In the end, I would like to have a new variable msla_new with dimensions
of 182x149.

As expected, a simple
shade MSLA[d=1,gx=nav_lon[d=2],gy=nav_lat[d=2]]
does not really work....

Any suggestions?

-Arne
