  "term": "Reduced grid",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A computational grid for global numerical models where the number of grid points along lines of latitude decreases from the equator towards the poles. This configuration maintains a more uniform grid cell area across the globe, preventing the convergence of meridians from creating excessively small and computationally restrictive cells near the poles. A regular latitude-longitude grid, in contrast, has a constant number of longitude points at every latitude.",
