EASE2_M08km.gpd

; 8 km Global EASE-Grid-2.0 grid parameter definition (nested in 36 km gpd).
; This projection uses the WGS84 ellipsoid.
; The left and right edges of the grid are at -+180.0000000 deg longitude.
; The top and bottom edges of the grid are at  +-85.0445664 deg latitude.
; Note that this grid violates the EASE-Grid-2.0 specification that
; all grid width and height values should be even numbers.
; The grid height here is 1827, so the equator runs through the center of
; row = 913.
