[ncl-talk] regrid from 64km to 32km

[Marcella, Marc]

1)      Yes, I meant it would be a misrepresentation of resolution since it will be at 32km physically but in reality it is 64km information.

2)      I have a 64km resolution dataset that I want to slice up into 32 km resolution for example going from say a 50x50 grid to 100x100 grid (4x total points) I attached an illustration if this makes it clearer.
The original data is curvilinear (output from WRF data) but this data itself is plucked out of the wrfout files and placed onto a grid that knows nothing about the lat/lon and I am fine keeping it in a rectilinear grid as seen here by the printVarSummary:
Variable: TOT_PRCP
Type: float
Total Size: 456851520 bytes
114212880 values
Number of Dimensions: 3
Dimensions and sizes:   [Time | 8760] x [south_north | 106] x [west_east | 123]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 3
_FillValue :  9.96921e+36
units :       mm/hr
description : Total hourly precipitation accumulation

Thank you for your help with this!
Marc

I think you have to provide more information.
[1] Not sure what you mean by "this  would be an incorrect regridding format/procedure". Do you mean going from low -resolution to high-resolution? There is nothing "incorrect" about that. The issue is that the *effective resolution* would stll be 64km but the data are rendered on a 32km grid.
[2] The rest of the question is obscure.
[3] *ALWAYS* include a printVarsummary of the source variable.
     (a) Is the source grid rectilinear or curvilinear? If curvilinear, then linint2 is not the function to use.

Hi NCL’ers,

I would like to take a current dataset that is 64 km, say at dimensions j=106 x i=123 and “regrid” it such that the gridcells are just sliced up into 32km resolution grid cells, ie the final product would have dimensions of 212x246.  I do recognize that this  would be an incorrect regridding format/procedure but I just need the grid for a test input file. I tried the linint2 regridding but this kept the first (lower left) 106x123 gridcells the original values and all the additional/new gridcells outside this box were FillValues.  Is there an easy way to do this with a regrid or NCL function?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Marc
