I think that if you assume that the axes of your grid data align with the cardinal directions (East-West / North-South) then you would expect latitude and longitude to be 1D, but if they don't align then the coordinates would need be 2D (i.e. if x and y are merely arbitrary lines along the Earth's surface). I agree with you though that 2D lat/lon grids are unnecessarily confusing, especially for non-geoscience users. I like the second diagram you showed more (it's also a neater version of the labelled one I made here). I think it's debatable whether As for improvements, I think it would be clearer to at least use the second image over the first, and perhaps we could improve it further. |
