The derivatives are computed with a second order finite-difference approximation. The resulting fieldset contains two fields for each input field: the u and v geostrophic wind components. In each output field the points close to the poles and the Equator , are bitmapped (they contain missing values). Please note that this function is only implemented for regular latitude-longitude grids.
