global_equiv_resol()

program global_equiv_resol

(

)

Compute the global equivalent resolution for regional grids using the average model grid cell size in meters squared.

• RES(in km) = (360 degrees / 4*CRES) * 111 km

Using the average cell size the equivalent global resolution is:

• CRES = NINT((2*PI*RADIUS_OF_EARTH)/(4*AVG_CELL_SIZE)
