Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Following on from previous post to obtain a data for a given lat/lon, the provided code sample worked in 4.2 but failed in 4.3 ( version switch as recommended for grib use). Error was missing '.rc' file. Found a reference in docs but need guidance as to contents/structure of the file. My interest in the lat/lon function, and my question after resolving the upgrade issue, is to query a grib file for a specific region. Gribs being used may contain Lambert or lat/lon coordinates. After reading docs, 'findXYindexFromLatLon' will return a value however if either lat or lon is not part of the grid it is ??? (there is no logic provided for how the value returned is determined). Is there a means to enforce the determination or to return the inferred grid value? A parallel query is how to obtain a bounding box of actual grid coordinates (nearest neighbours) around a specific lat/lon. From my perspective, this would satisfy the above question, allowing determination of values through appropriate interpolation method. Insight, guidance, comments: all are appreciated. Thanks, Cameron
