Spatial resolution GRACE JPL mascon #4

Open dncardenasg opened 2 years ago

dncardenasg commented 2 years ago

Hello. I have used code, it is perfect and more for people who are just learning Python.

I have a question with the spatial resolution of the files. If the data and the generated GeoTIFFs have 0.5° spatial resolution, why do the pixel values only change every 3°? Both in the .nc and in the .tif

Thanks!

Hi,

The Mascon product is computed based on the 3 degree resolution and then mapped to 0.5 deg lat-lon grid. For detail information, Please visit https://grace.jpl.nasa.gov/data/get-data/jpl_global_mascons/

Thanks,
