Dear sir

Thank you for this help. One last query, if in case my WRF grid is from 90
to 120 degree long and -20 to 10 degree lat. However the TRMM grids are
from 89.125 to 120.875 degree long and -20.875,9.875 nlat what is the
precaution I should take if I need to subtract the WRF grid from TRMM grid.
