 Dear NCL users,I've modified the script and I have some problems with it, yet.New outputs and errors are:

I'll be thankful if I could have your help.

  Dear DennisThank you so much for you help.I've changed my script to attached one by adding lines 79-91, however it seems to have some basic problems! Could I ask help me about them, please? I faced following errors:

 [1] As noted in the documentation, linint2_points Interpolates from a *rectilinear grid* to a user specified set of points usingbilinear interpolation.

     http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/linint2_points.shtml

[2] The SMAP data are on a *curvilinear* grid: [DIM_000 | 406] x [DIM_001 | 964] . Hence, 'linint2_points'  will not work.

[3] I suggest that you 
     (a) use ESMF regridding to interpolate from the curvilinear grid to a rectilinear grid of approximately the same resolution.
     (b) then use linint2_points on (3a)

===
See the NARR Example 5. NARR uses a curvilinear grid. Create an SMAP ESMF weight file [eg: ESMF eamaple 30) ; Use the weight file to generate a rectilinear grid; use linint2_points.

Good luck

 Hi,
I want to interpolate soil moisture data from SMAP (Soil Moisture Ative/Passive) to some specified locations (in stations_NW.csv attached file). Some information of data are as belows.

printVarSummary(var):
Variable: varType: floatTotal Size: 1565536 bytes            391384 valuesNumber of Dimensions: 2Dimensions and sizes:   [DIM_000 | 406] x [DIM_001 | 964]Coordinates:Number Of Attributes: 6  _FillValue :  -9999  coordinates : /Soil_Moisture_Retrieval_Data_ AM/latitude /Soil_Moisture_Retrieval_Data_ AM/longitude  long_name :   Representative soil moisture measurement for the Earth based grid cell.  units :       cm**3/cm**3  valid_max :   0.5  valid_min :   0.02
However I've faced below error:
fatal:(lon) is not a dimension name in variable (var), could not determine dimension number

I searched in google and I found may be "There is no 'lon' dimension name. In fact, there are no latitude/longitude coordinates on the file at all."
So I used following line:    SMAP_fo = linint2_points(lon2d,lat2d, var(DIM_000 | :, DIM_001 | :), False , lon_NW, lat_NW, 0)
instead of:    SMAP_fo = linint2_points(lon2d,lat2d, var(lat | :, lon | :), False , lon_NW, lat_NW, 0)
and after that I faced following error:fatal:linint2_points: If xi is not one-dimensional, then it must have one less dimension than fi

After that I added following lines to the script:    lat1d = ndtooned(lat2d)    lon1d = ndtooned(lon2d)
Again I had following error:fatal:linint2_points: The rightmost dimensions of fi must be nyi x nxi, where nyi and nxi are the lengths of yi and xi respectively

And here I'm not sure about what I've done.I've attached the script, stations_NW.csv (input for unstructured points) and links.txt (which contains links for downloading SMAP data. Sorry about that but I couldn't attach SMAP files, because of their sizes. However to download them it is necessary to have earthdata user name!).
I'll be thankful if I could have your help, again.
SincerelyEhsan
