<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Chapter 3 of user manual gives a little information. As for projection "Polar Stereographic" and "Lambert ", the projected earth surface can not fill up the rectangular box. There are some "empty areas".
So what will be the simulation domain looks like. Is it a regular box?<o:p></o:p></p>
