Review text

Several explicit methods are proposed for generating global orthogonal curvilinear grids for ocean modelling. The methods are based on the conformal properties of stereographic and Mercator map projections and have been developed with the specific object of removing the North Pole from the ocean domain. The methods described here differ from those commonly employed in engineering problems in that grid line control is exercised by the placement of a finite number of singularities, and no specific condition is placed upon the fitting of coordinate lines to physical boundaries.
