This kind of gridding is something that IDL has always
done poorly, in my opinion. And it is something that
is so needed with satellite data that it is hard to
believe it is missing in IDL.

I've always used the Mapx coordinate transformation
package from the National Snow and Ice Data Center
(NSIDC):

http://geospatialmethods.org/mapx

It has a number of robust gridding parameters that can
be used to grid satellite data into a map projection.
Alas, it is only available for UNIX machines and can
be quite difficult to install. Fortunately, the folks
at NSIDC are always happy to help.

Cheers,

David
