Uniform 2-D Cartesian grid with consumer-supplied extent: NX by NY cell-centered points, cell centers (x_i, y_j) = (x0 + (i - 1/2) dx, y0 + (j - 1/2) dy).

duo
Generic gnomonic cubed-sphere grid with the duo-grid halo system of Chen (2021): six N-by-N tiles interlocked in the 'staircase' arrangement, 6 N^2 cells, unstaggered (A-grid) so every prognostic variable is collocated at cell centres.

Three-dimensional longitude-latitude-level grid: the 2-D grids/latlon horizontal mesh extended with a vertical `lev` axis, for 3-D tracer transport on a lat-lon model such as GEOS-Chem Classic.

MPAS unstructured spherical centroidal-Voronoi (icosahedral) C-grid on the unit sphere: NCELLS Voronoi cells, NEDGES edges, NVERTICES triangle vertices, with cell valence bounded by MAXEDGES (on a closed sphere the Euler relations give NEDGES = 3*(NCELLS - 2) and NVERTICES = 2*(NCELLS - 2), but the three counts stay independent metaparameters so planar or open meshes can reuse the file).
