Change projection of netcdf data and convert from UTM to lat/lon

I have a netcdf file

vardata=ncread('TL__Map1_15C_sand1__20mres_-36.265137N_174.790466','TLdata');

ncdisp('TL__Map1_15C_sand1__20mres_-36.265137N_174.790466')

I know that the projection is WGS 1984 Mercator 41 and the lat/lon coordinates are in UTM.

I would like to be able to convert this grid to lat/lon, can anyone help?

I have since realised that it is not logical to modify the spatial data in this way as it would break the regularity.

Hey Louise,

If you wish to convert the UTM to lat-lon cordinates I would suggest looking into UTM2LL.

Thanks Rishabh. That function doesn't work with lat/lon arrays of different sizes, but it's a good idea to send a message to the author, thanks.

[Rishabh Singh]

Could you provide more insight on this issue of yours regarding lat/lon array of different sizes?

[Louise Wilson]

My latitude array is 280, and the longitude array is 489. It appears you cannot convert these using utm2ll or utm2deg. I have answered this question as I understand now that it's not appropriate to convert the array in the first place.
