healpix_index 1 HEALPix (Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelation of a sphere) indices indicate the location of HEALPix cells in latitude and longitude, including their cell bounds. The relationship between HEALPix indices and latitude and longitude is described by the grid_mapping variable with a grid_mapping_name of "healpix", that must be attached to the data variable as described in Chapter 5.6 of the CF Convention. A HEALPix index variable must have an integer data type.
