[gradsusr] Interpolation/point values

[Stephen McMillan]

Hello Steve,
You should be able to use gr2stn to get what you want.  First, set x and y
to fixed (z and/or t must be fixed), set gxout print, display gr2stn(...,
then capture the result.  For example, using the GFS ugrdprs and vgrdprs
variables and a single timestep:
'set x 1';'set y 1';'set lev 1000'
'set t 5'
'set gxout print'
'set prnopts %0.2f'
'd 1.944*gr2stn(mag(ugrdprs,vgrdprs),-73.27,39.5)';#output in knots
ws=sublin(result,3)
say 'Wnd spd = 'ws
Above is for a fixed timestep, but you could increment or vary t (lev) to
get multiple time (level) results.

Good luck--
Stephen McMillan
