!- Some confusing vocabulary in this code !
!- =========================================
!-
!- A REGULAR grid is a grid which is i,j indexes
!- and thus it is stored in a 2D matrix.
!- This is opposed to a IRREGULAR grid which is only in a vector
!- and where we do not know which neighbors we have.
!- As a consequence we need the bounds for each grid-cell.
!-
!- A RECTILINEAR grid is a special case of a regular grid
!- in which all longitudes for i constant are equal
!- and all latitudes for j constant.
!- In other words we do not need the full 2D matrix
!- to describe the grid, just two vectors.
