Documentation is missing conservative_normed

[PBrockmann]

I have really appreciated the documentation. Perhaps a small update about the different regridding algorithms. There is finally 6 of them.

• 'bilinear'
• 'conservative', need grid corner information
• 'conservative_normed', need grid corner information
• 'patch'
• 'nearest_s2d'
• 'nearest_d2s'

In documentation, https://xesmf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/Compare_algorithms.html it is written Comparison of 5 regridding algorithms and indeed the conservative_normed is described only from from https://xesmf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/Masking.html

My suggestion would be to make visible the bindings between xESMF and ESMF.

The different methods (6 and not 5).

       'bilinear': ESMF.RegridMethod.BILINEAR,
       'conservative': ESMF.RegridMethod.CONSERVE,
       'conservative_normed': ESMF.RegridMethod.CONSERVE,
       'patch': ESMF.RegridMethod.PATCH,
       'nearest_s2d': ESMF.RegridMethod.NEAREST_STOD,
       'nearest_d2s': ESMF.RegridMethod.NEAREST_DTOS,

And how conservative_normed implies normalisation type as found in the code:

   if method == 'conservative_normed':
       norm_type = ESMF.NormType.FRACAREA
   else:
       norm_type = ESMF.NormType.DSTAREA

Hi @PBrockmann ,

We'd be happy to take a pull request with your suggestions for documentation improvements.

Thanks for your input!

Now fixed. Thanks for the suggestion.
