Ohhhh!!! But wait I didn't say "Final Answer"! I meant the latter!! Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Unidata Support [mailto:address@hidden] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 2:54 PM To: Patrick O'Reilly Cc: address@hidden Subject: 20040429: GDPROF Method Patrick, The latter. The gdprof routine gdpdta.f calls dgcxtp.f and will get the lat/lon and real value row/colum of the gpoint (eg not limited to integer i,j locations), which in turn is used in the call to $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/gr/grintp.f which performs a bilinear interpolation from the grid point values to the gpoint location.
