<br>
I am facing a problem when interpolating unstructured station data. I read an<br>
ascii file with lat/lon and rainfall data. The problem is that the interpolated<br>
values with dsgrid2 do not match with the real data, for example in the map<br>
attached 69mm of rainfall (North Greece) is printed on the map but the shaded<br>
rainfall is far away from the actual position of the station. Moreover, near<br>
Athens, we have some stations with up to 20mm of accumulated rainfall but<br>
interpolation gives 0-5mm.<br>
<br>
I have to mention that with temperature data, from the same ascii, using the<br>
same method with dsgrid2, the result is almost flawless (attached png with<br>
Attica).<br>
<br>
I have also tried ESMF method (attached), obj_anal_ic, triple2grid, natgrid but<br>
the problem is the same. Here is the part of the code doing calculations:<br>
<br>
<br>
x = stations(:,2) ; Column 3 of file contains LONGITUDE values.<br>
y = stations(:,1) ; Column 2 of file contains LATITUDE values.<br>
z = stations(:,15) ; Column 11 of file contains RAINFALL values.<br>
<br>
<br>
numxout = 100 ; Define output grid for call to "dsgrid2".<br>
numyout = 100<br>
xmin = min(x)<br>
ymin = min(y)<br>
xmax = max(x)<br>
ymax = max(y)<br>
zmin = min(z)<br>
zmax = max(z)<br>
<br>
xc = (xmax-xmin)/(numxout-1)<br>
yc = (ymax-ymin)/(numyout-1)<br>
xo = xmin + ispan(0,numxout-1,1)*xc<br>
yo = ymin + ispan(0,numyout-1,1)*yc<br>
<br>
;zo = natgrid(x, y, z, xo, yo) ; Interpolate.<br>
;zo = natgrids(x, y, z, xo, yo) ; Interpolate.<br>
rscan = (/0.25, 0.1, 0.01/)<br>
;zo = obj_anal_ic(x,y,z, xo,yo, rscan, False)<br>
opt = True<br>
opt@distmx = 30 ; kilometers<br>
;zo = triple2grid(x, y, z, xo, yo, opt)<br>
<br>
<br>
zo = dsgrid2(x, y, z, xo, yo) ; Interpolate.<br>
<br>
zo!0 = "i" ; Name the dimensions of "zo".<br>
zo!1 = "j"<br>
<br>
<br>
contour = gsn_csm_contour_map(wks,zo(j|:<wbr>,i|:),res)<br>
<br>
<br>
;--------<br>
;ESMF<br>
Opt = True<br>
Opt@SrcGridLat = y<br>
Opt@SrcGridLon = x<br>
Opt@DstLLCorner = (/floor(min(y)),floor(min(x))/<wbr>)<br>
Opt@DstURCorner = (/ ceil(max(y)), ceil(max(x))/)<br>
Opt@DstGridType = "0.1deg"<br>
Opt@ForceOverwrite = True<br>
Opt@Debug = True<br>
Opt@InterpMethod = "patch"<br>
;zo = ESMF_regrid(z,Opt)<br>
<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
