	original reduced grid (N80)	octahedral reduced grid (O80)	regular grid (F80)
Total number of grid points	35718	28480	51200
Resolution at equator (lat-lon)	1.125°	1.125°	1.125°
Resolution at equator (km)	125	125	125
Average resolution (km)	120	134	100

The lat-lon resolution at the equator is given by 90^o/N where N is the number of Gaussian latitudes between the pole and equator.
The resolution in kilometres at the equator is given by ~10000/N km (assuming a circumference of the earth of ~40000 km).
The average resolution is given by
Mathinline
\sqrt{4 \pi R^{2}_{\mbox{earth}}/N_{p}}
km, where
Mathinline
N_{p}
is the total number of grid points.
