If you had done so, you would have seen that the source array had<br>
90361 missing values (_FillValue).<br>

Matlab must silently interpolate/extrapolate to these values. I am not<br>
sure that I would consider that a good thing.<br>

NCL can interp/extrapolate also. However, the user must explicitly<br>
invoke the interpolation procedures. At least the user knows what type<br>
of interpolation has been used.<br>
