title: Regridding high resolution gridded data to low resolution coarser resolution data?
body: <p>I have a netcdf file with high resolution grided data (.1 x .1 deg) and plotting on the basemap using matplotlib. The plot I am trying to do is contour lines. For a specific reason I would like to plot the data at the interval of 1 x 1 deg resolution. For which I have used the following code sample example  from here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25544110/regridding-regular-netcdf-data">Regridding regular netcdf data</a>.</p>
  
  <p>See the update 1 for link to actual data.</p>
  
  <p>For the sake of clearity following is the code I am trying to execute for regridding to lower resolution:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>from mpl_toolkits import basemap
  from netCDF4 import Dataset
  
  filename = 'path/to/netcdf/file.nc'
  with Dataset(filename, mode='r') as fh:
     lons = fh.variables['LON'][:]
     lats = fh.variables['LAT'][:]
     data = fh.variables['Data'][:].squeeze()
  
  lons_sub, lats_sub = np.meshgrid(lons[::4], lats[::4], sparse=True)
  
  data_coarse = basemap.interp(data, lons, lats, lons_sub, lats_sub, order=1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code seems to be correct. But when I execute the code I get the following error in the line <code>data_coarse = basemap.interp(data, lons, lats, lons_sub, lats_sub, order=3)</code>:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>/__init__.py", line 4897, in interp
      if xin[-1]-xin[0] &lt; 0 or yin[-1]-yin[0] &lt; 0:
  ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have not understood where the problem lies and how to solve this?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated. </p>
