Slots

nodes.n

The number of nodes in the grid.

nodes.x

Latitude of the nodes.

nodes.lon

Longitude of the nodes.

elems.n

Number of elements in the grid

elems.v1

1st set of node indices

elems.v2

elems.size

The area of each element (m^2)

.

proj

A string that could be passed to proj4::project to convert x and y values to latitude and longitude.
