A transformed grid that is often adopted is the Gaussian grid with grid points equally spaced along the longitudes, but not along the latitudes; their location in the meridional direction is defined by [a non-reproducible formula is given here]. The Gaussian grid has no grid point at the pole. 2, record 1, English, - Gaussian%20grid

A transformed grid that is often adopted is the Gaussian grid with grid points equally spaced along the longitudes, but not along the latitudes [...] In a reduced Gaussian grid, the number of grid points in the zonal direction decreases toward the poles, which keeps the zonal distance between grid points approximately constant across the sphere. 2, record 2, English, - reduced%20Gaussian%20grid

Numerical integration procedure, devised by Gauss, that provides maximum accuracy for a given number of data points by positioning them suitably. 2, record 3, English, - Gaussian%20quadrature

The integrals in(4. 2) are evaluated numerically, after discretization over the vertical grid, considering the atmosphere as a pile of homogeneous layers. As the cooling rate is strongly dependent on local conditions of temperature and pressure, and energy is mainly exchanged with the layers adjacent to the level where fluxes are calculated, the contribution of the distant layers is simply computed using a trapezoidal rule integration, but the contribution of the adjacent layers is evaluated with a two-point Gaussian quadrature... 3, record 3, English, - Gaussian%20quadrature
