Neutral surface pressure, absolute salinity and potential vorticity (PV) are on a 1° grid (coordinates indicated by lat, lon).

Absolute geostrophic streamfunction (Aabs) is on a 2° grid (coordinates indicated by lat_A, lon_A).

Absolute geostrophic velocity components (Uabs = eastward; Vabs = northward) are on a 2° grid with coordinates in between lat_A and lonA.
