subroutine extys(pkcnst  ,pkdim   ,fb      ,kloop)

!----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
! 
! Purpose: 
! Fill latitude extensions of a scalar extended array and
! Copy data to the longitude extensions of the extended array
! 
! Method: 
! This is done in 2 steps:
!   1) interpolate to the pole points; use the mean field value on the
!      Gaussian latitude closest to the pole.
!   2) add latitude lines beyond the poles.
