The concept of conservative regridding method #87

Closed zxdawn closed 4 years ago

zxdawn commented 4 years ago

I'm curious of the concept of conservative regridding: area weighted or distance weighted? It seems that's area weighted in #17, right?

JiaweiZhuang commented 4 years ago

Yes it's area weighted. See https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data-tools-and-analysis/regridding-overview and https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/1520-0493%281999%29127%3C2204%3AFASOCR%3E2.0.CO%3B2
