[gradsusr] Fwd: Regridding MERRA data with lats4d

[Tokay, Maura M. (GSFC-618.0)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS]]

Hi -,

I forgot to add that a netcdf file is created, but with the same spatial grid as the original. Thanks for pointing my lapse Michael in not adding what was my problem.

Thanks,
Maura

I read the documentation on how to use lats4d but it is not working and I am not sure what I might be missing. I have tried two different approaches with and without the de option:
