INTV, REALV and CHARV must be given in every call, although only one of them at a time may contain information about the keyword. Depending on the keyword in HPARN, the arrays INTV or REALV may contain none, one or several values. If a series of unpacked fields are interpolated, it may be necessary to call INTIN between fields to ensure correct handling. For example, if a series of U, V, T, U, V, T, ... fields are processed, 'usewind' must be 'yes' for U and V; then 'no' for T; then 'yes' for U and V; then 'no' for T; and so on. If the 'user_reduced_gaussian' option is taken, both 'g_pnts' and 'g_lats' must be used subsequently, and in that order, to provide values defining the quasi-regular grid. If the 'user_regular_gaussian' is employed, 'g_lats' must be used sequentiallly to provide values defining the quasi-regular grid. Interpolation of bitmapped grid-point fields is done by using a default value (-55555.0) for missing points. The 'missingvalue' feature can be used to change the value used for missing points. 'islscp' processing uses a new land-sea mask field provided by the caller in the interpolation of a gaussian grid-point field. The ECMWF land-sea mask field is provided by giving a pathname in the environment variable ISLSCP_OLD_LSM or, by default, picking up the field in /home/ma/emos/data/islscp_old_lsm. Both new and old land-sea mask fields must be in GRIB format and have the same gaussian grid definition. ISLSCP processing does bi-linear interpolation using four neighbouring points. Neighbours are used if they have the same land/sea characteristic in the old land-sea mask as the new point in the new land-sea mask. If the four neighbours do not all have the same type, the nearest neighbour of matching type is used. If all four neighbours have different type from the new point, they are all used.
