GRIB2 - GRID TEMPLATE 3.3

Stretched and rotated latitude/longitude (or equidistant cylindrical, or Plate Carree)

Created 07/29/2005

Octet	Contents
15-72	Same as grid definition Template 3.0 (see note 1)
73-76	Latitude of the southern pole of projection
77-80	Longitude of the southern pole of projection
81-84	Angle of rotation of projection
85-88	Latitude of the pole of stretching
89-92	Longitude of the pole stretching
93-96	Stretching factor

Notes: 1. Basic angle of the initial production domain and subdivisions of this basic angle are provided to manage cases where the recommended unit of 10-6 degrees is not applicable to describe the extreme longitudes and latitudes, and direction increments. For these last six descriptors, the unit is equal to the ration of the basic angle and the subdivisions number. For ordinary cases, zero and missing values should be coded., equivalent to respective values of 1 and 106 (10-6 degrees unit). 2. See Note (2) under grid definition template 3.1 ― rotated latitude/longitude (or equidistant cylindrical, or Plate Carree). 3. See Note (2) under grid definition template 3.2 ― stretched latitude/longitude (or equidistant cylindrical, or Plate Carree).
