Convert landunit grid to the lat/lon grid

Dear Keith,

I'd like to reconstruct lat/lon gridlevel data from landunit level data. Can you give some suggestions about how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Yaqian

All of the required information is on the file.
One would construct a weighted average using the desired variable and the variable land1d_wtgcell (which is the weight of the landunit on the gridcell).
A good idea to also check if the landunit is active (using land1d_active).

The vector can be mapped back to the 2d grid using the variables land1d_lat and land1d_lon.
