the corner-point of the cell is defined in the southeast? So the U-velocity is located to the north of the XG,YG point and the V velocity to the west?
Correct.
However, to ensure your data are being handled properly, it would be good to know two things:
type='latlon'
flag in get_dataset
?Thanks for your quick reply. We are using the ECCO data portal. I did not add the type='latlon'
flag, but rotated the fields by hand afterwards. Everything looks fine, we just noticed with our Lagrangian tracking (which is only using the corner-points), that the index pointed to the wrong V-values, but that is easy to fix.
Hi all,
I was wondering, if I select a region to download the LLC4320 model data, like so:
am I correct that, after rotating everything in the 'right' direction, the corner-point of the cell is defined in the southeast? So the U-velocity is located to the north of the XG,YG point and the V velocity to the west? Is that because the tile is rotated 90 degrees?
I am asking because in the NEMO model data the corner-point is in the northeast, and in other MITgcm model output that I've used the corner-point is in the southwest. This is relevant for the Lagrangian simulations we run using these model data.
Thank you!
