Mohammad's NCL interface to PROJ4. I am not totally sure there is<br>
enough info in what she had given. We would need the center of the<br>
projection -- probably 90 latitude but not so clear about longitude.<br>
Maybe the x and y metric coordinates have a 0 point that indicates the<br>
projection center. It's one we would have to play with a bit to get<br>
working.<br>====<br><br></div>Who created the data?

(.nc file) with polar stereographic grid and I want to re-grid that into
CCSM T31 grid in order to calculate the difference between them.
However, my Greenland bed elevation data set doesn't have the associated
longitude and latitude information (i.e lon2d and lat2d) within the nc
file. It just has " projection_x_coordinate (x)" and "
projection_y_coordinate (y)." Can anyone suggest that is there any way
(or function) available in NCL that I can use to deal with this issue? <br><br></div>Thanks</div>
