Bring in SE dycore's grid interpolation (interp_mod.F90) functionality once history is enabled. #265

What is the feature/what would you like to discuss?

In CAM the SE dycore can interpolate output history variables from its unstructured grid to a specified lat/lon grid at runtime, using the methods defined in interp_mod.F90. This functionality and source code file are currently missing from CAM-SIMA. However, once the new history infrastructure (issue #29) is brought into CAM-SIMA then it would be good to bring this interpolation functionality into the model as well.

Alternatively, it might be worth creating a more dycore-independent interpolation method, possibly using tools from ESMF. However this would almost certainly take more development work than just porting over the dycore-specific implementation in CAM.

Is there anyone in particular you want to be part of this conversation?

Will this change (regression test) answers?

No

Will you be implementing this enhancement yourself?
