Hi Jake,

The netCDF software has no restriction that lat/lon coordinates (or any
coordinates) must be evenly spaced, so this is evidently a limitation
of the ESRI ArcMap software.  Perhaps it is accessing the data from a
WCS 1.0 server, a version of the OGC Web Coverage Service that only
allowed equally spaced grid coordinates.

There are several regridding utilities available that can work with netCDF
data, such as CDO, NCL, or the ncregrid program:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html#NCL
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html#ncregrid

There is also a regrid program available for IDL, ncregrid.pro, but I,m not
sure whether it comes with IDL or must be downloaded and installed.
