Add reduced Gaussian grid targets for interpolate

sandorkertesz commented 5 months ago

The available target grids for interpolate() are always (with some exceptions) regular lat-lon grids. This issue is addressing the question of adding reduced Gaussian grids as targets.

Proposal (targets are still to be added, exsisting ones in bold):

Source: HEALPix (nested):	Source	Target
H1204
H512
H256
H128
H64
H32
H16
H8
H4
H2

Source: octahedral reduced Gaussian	Source	Target
O2560
O1280	N320
O1024
O640
O512
O400
O320
O256
O200
O160
O128
O96
O80
O64
O48
O32

@iainrussell , @pmaciel what do you think?

I'm not sure we should add a big variety of grids, this could create quite a burden, now and in future releases, for no immediate value except for the exceptional user.

But certainly some are quite important. I think N320 is the format of an older reanalysis which still sees quite some usage (ERA Interim?) I might be completely off. Maybe we should ask User Services what are the popular datasets, or CDS (but those should all be regular ll, except EFAS)

I recently got the error No matrix found! in_grid={'grid': 'O200'} out_grid={'grid': [1, 1]} method='linear' on v0.3.2 when trying to quickplot the https://apps.ecmwf.int/ifs-experiments/rd/guxf/ dataset
