reduced_gaussian_index 1 Reduced Gaussian indices indicate the latitude and longitude location of cells, including their cell bounds, of a reduced Gaussian grid on a sphere. The relationship between reduced gaussian indices and latitude and longitude is described by the grid_mapping variable with a grid_mapping_name of "reduced_gaussian", that must be attached to the data variable as described in Chapter 5.6 of the CF Convention. A reduced gaussian index variable must have an integer data type.
