latlon_grid

Reference grid to be used in all the climate services. Repository contents:

  • 'data':
    • 'netcdf': the grids for the two spatial domains (pen_wgs84.nc and can_wgs84.nc, for peninsular Spain and the Canary Islands), in netCDF format.
    • 'shp': the grids for the two spatial domains (pen.shp and can.shp, for peninsular Spain and the Canary Islands), in ArcGIS shapefile format.
    • 'tif': the grids for the two spatial domains (pen_grid.tif and can_grid.tif, for peninsular Spain and the Canary Islands), in geoTIFF format; and some auxiliary files: a sea / land mask, the elevation, and distance to the sea.
  • 'R': R scripts to generate the reference grid in netCDF format (latlon_pen_wgs84.R and latlon_can_wgs84.R, for peninsular Spain and the Canary Islands).

These are the characteristics of the mainland Spain grid:

  • dimensions: lon = 620; lat = 375; time = UNLIMITED;
  • spatial resolution: 0.025;
  • origin: lon = -10.3; lat = 43; time = 1;
  • double lon(lon=620); :units = "degrees_east"; :long_name = "longitude"; :standard_name = "longitude"; :axis = "X"; :comment = "Longitude geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection"; :reference_datum = "geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection";
  • double lat(lat=375); :units = "degrees_north"; :long_name = "latitude"; :standard_name = "latitude"; :axis = "Y"; :comment = "Latitude geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection"; :reference_datum = "geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection";
  • double time(time=1); :units = "days since 1900-01-01"; :long_name = "time"; :calendar = "gregorian"; :axis = "T";
  • int crs; :long_name = "CRS definition"; :grid_mapping_name = "latitude_longitude"; :longitude_of_prime_meridian = 0; // int :semi_major_axis = 6378137; // int :inverse_flattening = 298.257223563; // double :crs_wkt = "GEOGCRS["WGS 84", ENSEMBLE["World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble",\n

These are the characteristics of the Canary Islands grid:

  • dimensions: lon = 212; lat = 84; time = UNLIMITED
  • spatial resolution: 0.025;
  • origin: lon = -18.425; lat = 29.525; time = 1;
  • double lon(lon=212); :units = "degrees_east"; :long_name = "longitude"; :standard_name = "longitude"; :axis = "X"; :comment = "Longitude geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection"; :reference_datum = "geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection";
  • double lat(lat=84); :units = "degrees_north"; :long_name = "latitude"; :standard_name = "latitude"; :axis = "Y"; :comment = "Latitude geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection"; :reference_datum = "geographical coordinates, WGS84 projection";
  • double time(time=1); :units = "days since 1900-01-01"; :long_name = "time"; :calendar = "gregorian"; :axis = "T";
  • int crs; :long_name = "CRS definition"; :grid_mapping_name = "latitude_longitude"; :longitude_of_prime_meridian = 0; // int :semi_major_axis = 6378137; // int :inverse_flattening = 298.257223563; // double :crs_wkt = "GEOGCRS["WGS 84", ENSEMBLE["World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble",\n
