[pyngl-talk] esmf regridding with pyngl

[Mary Haley]

Hi Matt,

We don't have the NCL-ESMF regridding interface in NCL. As you pointed out,
the ESMF folks have created a Python interface called ESMPy.  I did look
around for some documentation, but didn't find anything like what we have
on the NCL website.  Here's what I did find:

http://www.earthsystemmodeling.org/esmf_releases/public/last/esmpy_doc/html/examples.html

The developer of a package called xESMF wrote to me awhile back and pointed
out an interface he had created on top of ESMPy. xESMF is supposed to be
easier to use as it hides some of ESMPy's complicated infrastructure.  See:

https://xesmf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

On the left are a list of some tutorials including an ESMPy tutorial:

xESMF uses sparse matrix multiply just like the NCL-ESMF package, which can
make it faster if you already have the weights file.

Good luck,

--Mary
