Calculating Grid Cell Area & Angles

Added by James Simkins about 3 years ago

Hello,

I'd like to calculate individual grid cell area and angles (between (0,0), (y,0), and the i axis);

(0,x) --- (y,x) | |
(0,0) --- (y,0)

I'd like to do this for multiple projections (Lambert CC, Mercator, N/S Polar Stereo). Can this be done with CDO? If not, are there any equations I can use to calculate these (particularly for curvilinear grids)?

Thank you!
James

Hi James,

the grid cell area can be computed with the gridarea operator (https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/embedded/cdo.pdf#subsection.2.15.4). IMO CDO can't compute the angles.
