I'm not familiar with this dataset... perhaps you could ask some of your<br>
local colleagues for advice on this issue?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regardless of the "observational resolution" that went into the anaysis, the analyzed gridded fields cannot resolve features that are finer than the ~50km size of the gridbox.

My analysis are from NCEP High Resolution Global Forecast System (1<br>
degree GFS).<br>

I don't know... do you know the source of the analysis?<br>

Sorry, but where can I verify the density of the observations in the<br>
analysis?<br>

Could you compare your model output to the analysis by regridding the<br>
model output to the analysis grid? This would smooth out much of the<br>
detail in the model, but would preserve the analysis data... a<br>
consideration: what is the density of the observations that went into<br>
the analysis? is the density of the obs closer to 1 degree or 8 km?<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

Hi GrADS Users,<br>
<br>
I would like to intepolate some variables from the analysis data of 1<br>
degree resolution to model output resolution (0.072 resolution ~ 8<br>
km)<br>
in order to validate my simulations. First of all, can I do it using<br>
regrid? Is there some resolution limit in regrid function?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for any help.<br>
