Hi everyone,
I would like to reproject the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis I/surface flux 1.8
deg resolution datasets of air temperature (2m-daily), pressure
(daily) and wind (U/V-daily) from the geographic lat/lon to the Polar
Stereographic projection using ENVI and the spatial resolution should
be brought to either 1 km or 6.25 km. I tried by using the Convert map
projection tool in ENVI but I am not getting the desired final result.
Please help.

What kind of result did you get?

Cheers,

David

Some distorted type of image. The lat/lon vlaues and the parameter
values are all assigned to each pixel but the image seems to be, I
don't know, not correct.
Is it possible to regrid the coarse resolution to a higher resolution
using some interpolation method in ENVI (not in IDL!) and also change
the map projection?

There is probably much in ENVI to improve, but
personally, I feel great confidence in their map
projection software. At least in my case, every
time I have tried to confirm a result that seemed
"strange" to me, the problem turned out to be a 
faulty assumption or incomplete knowledge on my
part, rather than a problem with the software.

Regrid to a higher resolution using what information?
If you start with low resolution data, producing high
resolution output is imaginary art, not science. :-)

Cheers,

David

Thank you so much for your reply David. The original data is in
~1.8X1.8 degree spatial resolution in geographic lat/lon projection. I
want to reproject it into polar stereographic projection (North) so
that I can compare it with the AMSR-E L3 gridded data (which are in
polar stereographic projection).
