North-South orientation of `Grid` #73

At the moment, the latitude (Y) coordinates are in increasing order (i.e. from -90 degrees North to +90 degrees North) which results in [Y, X] arrays featuring the southernmost points on the first row, and the northernmost points on the last row. Which is not necessarily intuitive, e.g. when "printing" the array the World is "upside down".

So we need to decide whether we want to stick with this, or enforce the opposite (i.e. latitude coordinate should be in decreasing order).
