Just to clarify: I need to "rebox" voxels. ESMF seems to do a 3D
interpolation in order to "regrid" pixels, which it defines
(rather well) as

But ESMF only seems to work with data that's attributed to a 2D grid,
rather than data attributed to a 3D grid ... unless I'm missing
something.

your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@xxxxxxxxx>
