mean bias of deterministic forecasts fcst from observations obs

S grid for fcst and T grid for obs need be of the same nature. obs' [X Y] are regridded to fcst's [X Y] (see gridtomatch function). If one would like to do the other way around (i.e. the forecast regridded to the observations grid), it has to be done manually before applying bias_mean.
