POLATES6

The POLATES6 routine performs budget interpolation
             from any grid to any grid for scalar fields.
             It requires a grid for the output fields (kgdso(1)>=0).
             The algorithm simply computes (weighted) averages
             of neighbor points arranged in a square box
             centered around each output grid point and stretching
             nearly halfway to each of the neighboring grid points.
             Options allow choices of number of points in each radius
             from the center point (ipopt(1)) which defaults to 2
             (if ipopt(1)=-1) meaning that 25 points will be averaged;
             Further options are the respective weights for the radius
             points starting at the center point (ipopt(2:2+ipopt(1))
             which defaults to all 1 (if ipopt(1)=-1 or ipopt(2)=-1).
             another option is the minimum percentage for mask,
             i.e. percent valid input data required to make output data,
             (ipopt(3+ipopt(1)) which defaults to 50 (if -1).
             Only horizontal interpolation is performed.
             The grids are defined by their grid description sections
             (passed in integer form as decoded by subprogram w3fi63).

             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.
             Input bitmaps will be interpolated to output bitmaps.
             output bitmaps will also be created when the output grid
             extends outside of the domain of the input grid.
             the output field is set to 0 where the output bitmap is off.
