ABSTRACT

Rossow and Garder 1984

Rossow, W.B., and L. Garder, 1984: Selection of a map grid for data analysis and archival. J. Clim. Appl. Meteorol., 23, 1253-1257, doi:10.1175/1520-0450(1984)023<1253:SOAMGF>2.0.CO;2.

Aggregation of atmospheric data using the common single-angle (latitude-longitude) map grid is shown to introduce an unnecessary degradation of data quality compared with aggregation using an equal-area grid. Analysis of this problem shows that the analysis grids can be different from the archival grids for convenience.
