11. Grids
Polar2grid is capable of handling PROJ.4 strings to describe the grids being mapped to.
For more details on each grid see the package provided
Grids Configuration File.
If you would like to add your own grid see the Grids section
of the Developer’s Guide. There are additional grids provided in Polar2Grid that
aren’t listed here. Some exist for a specific backend (like AWIPS grids), but can be used
for other backends as well.
The following grids are used with the PROJ.4 library (using pyproj bindings)
through the “ll2cr” step of remapping. See
PROJ.4 GenParams
for more information on what each parameter means.
Note
If the grid does not have a parameter specified it will be derived from the
data during remapping. This allows for grids that fit to the data (dynamic
grids).
