Excellent!

I was warned here at NCAR that I would have a lot of trouble with these model 
data file unless I could find someone to help me with the arcane NCAR Computer 
Language (NCL) code to reproject them. When I said that with GRASS, 
georeferencing would not be that big a deal if I could somehow find proper 
geographic reference points or data layers, they were skeptical. Persistence 
paid off, however. I still don't have NCL working (though I want to try it), 
but the approach I sent you turned out very well for my data. It may even be 
better than the NCL approach, since NCL seems to use a simple bilinear 
interpolation to directly change the grid cells from POP grid to latlon. With 
mine, we reproject grid centers first before interpolating. We can then choose 
which interpolator works best for our particular question and data set.
