Grid 50: Spherical harmonic coefficients

Octets Key Type Content
7-8 J unsigned J pentagonal resolution parameter
9-10 K unsigned K pentagonal resolution parameter
11-12 M unsigned M pentagonal resolution parameter
13 representationType codetable Representation type (see Code table 9)
14 representationMode codetable Representation mode (see Code table 10)
15-32 Set to zero (reserved)
Notes:

( 1) The pentagonal representation of resolution is general. Some common truncations are special cases of the pentagonal one: Triangular M = J = K Rhomboidal K = J + M Trapezoidal K = J, K > M

( 2) The representation type (octet 13) indicates the method used to define the norm.

( 3) The representation mode (octet 14) indicates the order of the coefficients, whether global or hemispheric data are depicted, and the nature of the parameter stored (symmetric or antisymmetric).
