[ncl-talk] Interpolation for taylor diagram

Hi Sri,
The error message is telling you what the issue is:
fatal:linint2: The rightmost dimensions of fi must be nyi x nxi, where nyi
and nxi are the lengths of yi and xi respectively

fi is your input array, and the error message is saying that the rightmost
dimensions of fi must be equal to the sizes of the lon and lat arrays that
you pass in.

Thus, if you pass in your t2mw array to linint2 like this:
fo = linint2(t2mw&lon,t2mw&lat,t2mw, True, LON, LAT, 0)
should work as lon and lat are the 2 rightmost dimensions of t2mw. However,
if you pass in your airw array:
fo = linint2(airw&lon,airw&lat,airw, True, LON, LAT, 0)
You will get the referenced error message as time is the rightmost
dimension in airw. The solution is to reorder the dimensions in airw:
fo = linint2(airw&lon,airw&lat,airw(time|:,lat|:,lon|:), True, LON, LAT, 0)

Hope that helps. If you have any further questions please respond to the
ncl-talk email list and not to me personally.
Adam
