Data spatial coordinate systems



 

 
  GRIB data is archived in one of the following spatial coordinate systems
    • Spherical Harmonics (SH) - Upper air fields.
    • Gaussian Grid (GG) - Surface and some upper air fields.
    • Latitude/Longitude (LL) - other centres, wave data.

     

    The correspondence between the three types of grid resolutions is as follows :
     
    Spectral Gaussian Lat/lon
    T63 N48 1.875
    TL95 N48 1.875
    T106 N80 1.125
    TL159 N80 1.125
    T213 N160 0.5625
    TL255 N128 0.7
    TL319 N160 0.5625
    TL399 N200 0.450
    TL511 N256 0.351
    TL639 N320 0.28125
    TL799 N400 0.225
    TL1023 N512 0.176
    TL1279 N640 0.141
    TL2047 N1024 0.088
