[daip] DBCON problem

Hi Lauren,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.  What was your "sum of the gridding 
weights" for your two data sets?  Also look you DBCONed data with UVPLT (or some 
such), does it look sensible. I have had experience in the past when DBCON 
seemed to introduce high amplitudes (but I could never get it to repeat).  Also 
could you send me you DBCON output?

Thanks!

Amy
