hello Ingolf and MathGroup,
My data is on curvilinear grid which represents geographical coordinates for
some area. I don't know how to use rectilinear parameters to represent it.
This interpolation was about to change curvilinear data from grid 448x615 to
132x145 rectilinear grid. I did it by another tool which was quite easy but
I still don't know how to deal with it in Mathematica.
//I am still working on another of your questions, but please be patient. I
//have my job to do (what I am doing just now cannot be mentioned here) and
a
//garden to harvest.
Thank You for your work I did it in a simply way just by sweeping matrices
but it's an inefficient way for doing it.
Have a good garner.
kind regards,
Simon
