This program interpolates fields from an MPAS mesh (the "source" mesh) to a regular WRF grid (the "target" grid). Integer fields use nearest neighbor interpolation, snow-related fields use conservative regridding, and all other fields use bilinear interpolation.
The main point of this program was to be able to interpolate fields from an MPAS mesh to a regular grid for data visualization and post-processing purposes.

Compiling instructions:
0)[Only necessary on non-RDHPCS machines] Create an appropriate module file in the modulefiles subdirectory named build.[target].[compiler].lua (if your machine supports lua modulefiles) or build.[target]. In this file you will need to load your desired compiling environment, including cmake and MPI. Environmental variables NETCDF and ESMFMKFILE are also necessary and should be pointed to the top directory of the NETCDF install and the file esmf.mk of your ESMF install, respectively.
An example file that loads the build environment through modulefiles and the extra libraries via LD_LIBRARY_PATH modification is provided in modulfiles/build.jet.test.intel.lua.
- run build.sh [target] [compiler]
Run instructions:
- Copy all variable list files from ./parm in to run directory. Each file is formatted like:
rainc RAINC rainnc RAINNC refl10cm_max REFL10CM_MAX [...]
with the variable name in the MPAS file in the first column, and the desired output name in the second file. Variables are separated in to four categories:
a) Variables from the diag file (diaglist)
b) 2-dimensional variables from the history file (histlist_2d)
c) 3-dimensional variables from the history file (histlist_3d)
d) 3-dimensional soil variables from the history file (histlist_soil)
The user can edit these to their specifications, if they so wish.
- Create a namelist file of any name in run directory (e.g., namelist.input)

The following options are only valid for target_grid_type NOT 'file':
nx : The number of target grid points in the east-west direction
ny : The number of target grid pointers in the north-south direction
dx : Grid size (meters, or deg for target_grid_type='lat-lon') in the east-west direction
dy : Grid size (meters, or deg for target_grid_type='lat-lon') in the north-south direction
ref_lat : Reference latitude of the target grid projection
ref_lon : Reference longitude of the target grid projection
truelat1 : First true latitude of target grid projection (for target_grid_type='lambert')
truelat2 : Second true latitude of target grid projection (for target_grid_type='lambert'; optional)
stand_lon : Standard longitude of the target grid projection (for target_grid_type='lambert')
