Grids in use

NCAR: /fs/cgd/csm/mapping/grids or /fis/csm/mapping/grids

NON-NCAR: earth system grid (ESG)


Nomenclature

- gx1   : Greenland pole x1 (320x384) pop grid
- gx1v2 : Greenland pole x1 (320x384) pop grid, version 2 (only
          different from gx1 in terms of land/ocn mask and kmt)
- gx3   : Greenland pole x3 (100x116) pop grid
- hx1   : Hudson's Bay pole x1 (384x320) pop grid
- r05   : 1/2 degree lat/lon grid, for runoff model 
- T21   : gaussian ccm grid
- T31   : gaussian ccm grid
- T42   : gaussian ccm grid
- T62   : gaussian grid
- T63   : gaussian ccm grid
- T85   : gaussian ccm grid
- 1x1d  : 1 degree lat/lon grid used by Levitus

If a second version of a grid is generated (different from the first in its land/ocean mask, or more substantially different) then it can pick up a version number, as is the case with name "gx1v2".

The grid files will be named as [grid name].nc
