Re: [idvusers] Grid interpolation in IDV

Paul --

The simplest way to extract a value at a given lat/lon location might
be something like this (I'm assuming you're in the Jython Shell at
this point...):

1. a = selectData()
           [then pick your gridded field -- if it's 3D then you'll
need to use the "make2D()"
           function in the Jython library "Grid routines"]

2. assuming there is a "time" dimension, then do:
       b = a[0]

    (if you do a "print len(a)" and the answer is a small number, like
"1", then you likely have a time dimension...you can also do "print
whatTypes(a)" and get the details of the structure of 'a')

3. then (welcome to the World of VisAD):

      from visad.georef import LatLonTuple

4. now for each point do this:
       print b.evaluate( LatLonTuple( 43., -89.))

(using your own lat/lon values....)
