[hsoh-u]

Replace italics below with details for this issue.

Describe the Problem

Provide a clear and concise description of the bug here.

The valid values are too small from the regridded outpiut by point2grid with GSF Ocean data input

Command:

/d1/personal/hsoh/git/pull_request/MET_feature_2857_tripolar_coordinates/bin/point2grid /d1/projects/MET/MET_issues/feature_2857/GFSv17_ocean/gfs.ocean.t00z.6hr_avg.f006.nc G179 testing_GFSocean.nc -field 'name="SST"; level="(0,,)";' -config /d1/personal/hsoh/data/MET-2857/Point2GridConfig_SST -v 4

The log message

DEBUG 4: regrid_nc_variable() -> [Count] data cells: 627, missing: 112687, non_missing: 449964, non mapped cells: 975993 out of 977132
DEBUG 4:        Range:  data: [-1.775440216 - 32.39379501]

Only 0.064% cells have the valid values and the rest of them are missing values.

Other command produces all missing values:
