Overview
The coordinate grid generator produces a set or grid of geographical positions
that serves as input to the positional version of the following models:
Once a grid has been generated, it can be used with different models.
This means that, in the context of a given
project, it is not
necessary to generate coordinates for each model separately. Inversely, direct
links to the coordinate grid generator are provided in each model package.
Warning! When running the coordinate grid generator, all outputs
previously obtained with models that use this tool, are
deleted. This is to ensure consistency between results, and to avoid errors in
the plotting routines that produce the graphical output. The input parameters
for the models are not deleted, so that they can be run again in the same way.
Input parameters
Three grid types can be produced:
- a single geographic point: for this grid type, a profile can be
generated in terms of the input parameters of the models to be run on this
grid;
- an altitude, latitude, longitude or time (universal or local) profile,
with the other coordinates fixed;
- a world map for a given altitude and fixed universal or local time.
Results
The coordinate grid generator produces the files listed in the table below.
A description of the file formats can be brought up by clicking on their
description in the table.
The report file spenvis_pos.html
contains the
input parameters and summary tables. The grid coordinates
are stored in the spenvis_pos.txt
file.
