Arakawa grids
text:
The Arakawa grid system depicts different ways to represent and compute orthogonal physical quantities on rectangular grids used for Earth system models for meteorology and oceanography. For example, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model uses the Arakawa Staggered C-Grid in its atmospheric calculations when using the ARW core. The five Arakawa grids (A–E) were first introduced in Arakawa and Lamb 1977. For an image of the five grids, see the following picture, or Fig. 1 in Purser and Leslie
