Hi,

My apologies for the previous incomplete message.

I was running into issues of ESMF_regid_with_weights. I am trying to regrid
the the NDVI data (at the resolution of 1/12 degree) to a 0.75 degree for
my analysis.
When I try to regrid them using ESMF_regrid_with_weights functions, I ran
into the problem during weight generation step. The information provided by
the debug option is listed here:

I have put my data in the ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/incoming, the file name is "

Could you help me look into this issue?

Thanks!
