6 | As described in section \ref{sec_transformations} for the different |
---|
7 | SCRIP remappings, OASIS3-MCT support different types of grids. The |
---|
8 | characteristics of these grids are detailed here: |
---|
9 | |
---|
10 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | \item {\tt `LR' grid}: The longitudes and the latitudes of |
---|
13 | 2D Logically-Rectangular (LR) grid points can be described by two arrays |
---|
14 | {\tt longitude(i,j)} and {\tt latitude(i,j)}, where i and j |
---|
15 | are respectively the first and second index dimensions. Streched |
---|
16 | or/and rotated grids are LR grids. Note that previous OASIS3 A, B, G, L, Y, or Z |
---|
17 | grids are all particular cases of LR grids. |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | \item {\tt `U' grid}: Unstructured (U) grids do have any particular |
---|
20 | structure. The longitudes and the latitudes of 2D Unstructured |
---|
21 | grid points must be described by two arrays {\tt |
---|
22 | longitude(nbr\_pts,1)} and {\tt latitude(nbr\_pts,1)}, where nbr\_pts |
---|
23 | is the total grid size. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | \item {\tt `D' grid} The Reduced (D) grid is composed of a certain |
---|
26 | number of latitude circles, each one being divided into a varying |
---|
27 | number of longitudinal segments. In OASIS3-MCT, the grid data (longitudes, |
---|
28 | latitudes, etc.) must be described by arrays dimensioned {\tt |
---|
29 | (nbr\_pts,1)}, where {\tt nbr\_pts} is the total number of grid |
---|
30 | points. There is no overlap of the grid, and no grid point at the |
---|
31 | equator nor at the poles. There are grid points on the Greenwich |
---|
32 | meridian. |
