Hello Again Mary,

Regarding my regridding script, I did the changes you told me and fixed the
var problem and the script is working well, thank you very much!!.

Now I am having issues to verify that the regridding is well done...Since I
am regridding global data to a small region, it is not easy to verify at
first look.

Thanks!,
Mirce.
