Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Dear John
For example, another data type we are interested in is "radial" (eg radar). Weve been reserving "grid" to mean "grids in cartesian coordinates".
If the data is a rectangular array (angle,radius) I would call it "gridded". It has an orthogonal index space even though it's not Cartesian coordinates. Best wishes Jonathan
