Ben,

1. There is an error in your routine to generate longitude.

;;lon = FINDGEN(nLon)/(nLon-1) * PS[0] + lonRange[0]
lon = fINDGEN(nLon) * PS[0] + lonRange[0]

Otherwise, lon has only two unique points

2. Try using the first form of grid_data: without /sphere:

;filter and reorder the data
;;GRID_INPUT, lon, lat, zValue, xyz, newZ, /SPHERE, /DEGREES, EPSILON
= PS[0]/2.0
GRID_INPUT, lon, lat, zValue, x1, y1, newZ, /DEGREES, EPSILON = PS[0]/
2.0

;build the triangulation
;;QHULL, xyz[0,*], xyz[1,*], tr, /DELAUNAY
QHULL, x1, y1, tr, /DELAUNAY

;interpolate
;;Z = GRIDDATA(xyz[0,*], xyz[1,*], newZ, /SPHERE,/DEGREES, $
Z = GRIDDATA(x1, y1, newZ, /SPHERE,/DEGREES, $
METHOD = "NaturalNeighbor", MISSING = !VALUES.F_NAN, $
XOUT = oLon, YOUT = oLat, TRIANGLES = tr )

You will no longer get the dreaded "Triangle 0 not in counterclockwise
order" error.

Cheers,

Bill Gallery
