I want to know what coordinate system UVEL and VVEL follow.
According to the documentation, the definition of UVEL and VVEL
But the definition of UVEL2 and VVEL2
Because POP2 use displaced-pole grid, grid-x and grid-y directions are equivalent to eastward and northward directions.
So, are they actually using a different coordinate system? Or I am mistaking something?
According to the documentation, the definition of UVEL and VVEL
UVEL | cm/s | Zonal Velocity |
VVEL | cm/s | Meridional Velocity |
But the definition of UVEL2 and VVEL2
UVEL2 | cm2/s2 | Velocity in grid-x direction |
VVEL2 | cm2/s2 | Velocity in grid-y direction |
Because POP2 use displaced-pole grid, grid-x and grid-y directions are equivalent to eastward and northward directions.
