Grid cell size may vary by a factor of up to 250x. Please keep this in mind when interpreting a variable for a given location. For example, the elevation within 1 km of Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska, centered at 71.2905, -156.789, ranges between 0–18 meters, with an average elevation of 6 meters. This variation should be kept in mind when interpreting the variables below.

Variation in altitude within a grid cell impacts its value. For example, the elevation within 1 km of Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska, centered at 71.2905, -156.789, ranges between 0–18 meters, with an average elevation of 6 meters.

Still valid and I'm in favor of the whitespace separation as elevation and grid cell size are indeed separate but related uncertainty sources.

This has been resolved as of the April updates to ArcticEDS and has in fact been deployed to the live site already: https://github.com/ua-snap/arctic-eds/pull/422
