POLATES4

The POLATES4 routine performs spectral interpolation
             from any grid to any grid for scalar fields.
             It requires that the input fields be uniformly global.
             Options allow choices between triangular shape (ipopt(1)=0)
             and rhomboidal shape (ipopt(1)=1) which has no default;
             A second option is the truncation (ipopt(2)) which defaults
             to a sensible truncation for the input grid (if opt(2)=-1).
             Note that if the output grid is not found in a special list,
             then the transform back to grid is not very fast.
             This special list contains global cylindrical grids,
             Polar Stereographic grids centered at the pole and
             Mercator grids.

             The current code recognizes the following projections:
                (KGDS(1)=000) EQUIDISTANT CYLINDRICAL
                (KGDS(1)=001) MERCATOR CYLINDRICAL
                (KGDS(1)=003) LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONICAL
                (KGDS(1)=004) GAUSSIAN CYLINDRICAL (SPECTRAL NATIVE)
                (KGDS(1)=005) POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC AZIMUTHAL
                (KGDS(1)=202) ROTATED EQUIDISTANT CYLINDRICAL (ETA NATIVE)

             Where KGDS could be either input KGDSI or output KGDSO.
             As an added bonus the number of output grid points
             and their latitudes and longitudes are also returned.
             On the other hand, the output can be a set of station points
             If KGDSO(1)<0, in which case the number of points
             and their latitudes and longitudes must be input.
             Output bitmaps will not be created.
