Weather and climate models often store values not only at the center of each cell (e.g. wind speed), but also at the vertices and/or middle points of the edges (e.g. mass, cloud density) (See Arakawa and Lamb 1977 and Collins et al. 2013). The DGGS concept is much known in the climate modelling community, e.g. in the ICON model.

Is this something to be considered in the DGGS data model?
