= Bug on linear interpolation =

Normally, the wind stress is interpolated with the bilinear interpolation scheme of the [[http://oceans11.lanl.gov/trac/SCRIP/|Scrip]] library included in OASIS-MCT.

In IPSLCM6 at resolution ORCA1 x LMD 144x144, the bilinear interpolation of the wind stress is bugged. Two NEMO points around 0°N/180°W takes there wind stress values from LMDZ points around 0°N/0°E, and the weights, base on the distance between the source and destination points, are totally wrong..

The bilinear interpolation of OASIS-MCT compute weights and adresses that are written in a file :  `rmp_tlmd_to_uorc_BILINEAR.nc`,  `rmp_tlmd_to_torc_BILINEAR.nc` or `rmp_tlmd_to_torc_BILINEAR.nc`.

A python program has been developed. It  makes a few corrections of adresses and weights in a copy of the file.

The program will be available soon.

To run the correction, the steps are:

1. Run the model with bilinear interpolation of the wind stress ;

2. Check the wind stress fields on the NEMO grid ;

3. If they are wrong, get the weigths files `rmp_tlmd_to_[uv]orc_BILINEAR.nc` ;

4. Correct them with the program. You may need to adapt the program to the bug you observed :-(

5. Put them in the IGCM repository where the weights file are ;

6. Use MOZAIC interpolation for the wind stress, using these new weights files.

7. Check the result ;-)
