EASE2_M6.25km.gpd

; 6.25 km Global EASE-Grid-2.0 grid parameter definition.
; This projection uses the WGS84 ellipsoid.
; The left and right edges of the grid are at -+180.000000 deg longitude.
; The top and bottom edges of the grid are at  +-84.439790 deg latitude.
; This grid exactly nests in the EASE2_M12.5 and 25km grids
; 2011-02-08 : Original grid defined with scale = 6256.315002025 m
; 2014-03-05 : Scale revised to 6256.31500 m
;              Original scale at higher precision was causing accumulated round-off
;              error that resulted in left edge (col=-0.5) values to return
;              longitude 180.0, and right edge values to return longitude -180.0.
