Interpolation/

compute_fromirr_bilinear_weigaddr.pro

compute the weight and address needed to interpolate data from an "irregular 2D grid" (defined as a grid made of quadrilateral cells) to any grid using the bilinear method

compute_fromirr_bilinear_weigaddr Interpolation

compute_fromirr_bilinear_weigaddr, olonin, olat, omsk, alonin, alat, amsk, weig, addr

Parameters

olonin        in required type: 2d array

longitude of the input data

olat        in required type: 2d array

latitude of the input data

omsk        in required type: 2d array or -1

land/sea mask of the input data put -1 if input data are not masked

alonin        in required type: 2d array

longitude of the output data

alat        in required type: 2d array

latitude of the output data

amsk        in required type: 2d array or -1

land/sea mask of the output data put -1 if output data are not masked

weig        out type: 2d array

(see ADDR)

addr        out type: 2d array

2D arrays, weig and addr are the weight and addresses used to perform the interpolation: dataout = total(weig*datain[addr], 1) dataout = reform(dataout, jpia, jpja, /over)

Restrictions

- the input grid must be an "irregular 2D grid", defined as a grid made of quadrilateral cells - We supposed the data are located on a sphere, with a periodicity along the longitude - to perform the bilinear interpolation within quadrilateral cells, we first morph the cell into a square cell and then compute the bilinear interpolation. - if some corners of the cell are land points, their weights are set to 0 and the weight is redistributed on the remaining "water" corners - points located out of the southern and northern boundaries or in cells containing only land points are set the same value as their closest neighbors
