  1. Nested Grids: the c-squares global grid Tony Rees CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart Tony.Rees@csiro.au for: PEMS Workshop on Nested Grids, 21 October 2007 version: final - with update, September 2009 Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 1

  2. The Big Challenge: Integrating distributed and heterogeneous spatial data resources to advance science and societal goals Opening the “Data Closet” (With thanks to K. Stocks et al. / SDSC for the image and concept!) Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 2

  3. One solution: rasterised data on a common grid • Grids come in different flavours… • Geodesic, global “equal area” (e.g. triangular, hexagonal, other) • Lat / lon, “equal angle” e.g. 1º x 1º grids, etc. (in unprojected, = “geographic” projection) • Local projected “equal area” grids e.g. 100 km grids, etc. • Typically regional / national scale, do not integrate globally;do not cope well with longitudinal shifts • Areas of interest are sometimes outside the grid (e.g. offshore islands, high seas, etc.) • This project (PEMS) has identified a requirement for a large scale “Grid System 1” lat / lon based grid, meshing with local, projected “System 2” grids for finer scale data • C-squares is an example global scale, lat / lon based grid that may be of interest for this project’s needs for Grid System 1. Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 3

  4. The c-squares global grid • C-squares: acronym for “Concise Spatial Query and Representation System” (or: CSIRO squares ??) • Developed at CMAR in 2001-2, published in scientific literature in 2003* • Cover entire world surface, not just the sea (despite choice of journal for initial publication) • Based on pre-existing, established “WMO square” notation, for global 10º x 10º squares • C-squares notation subdivides WMO squares into a nested grid using alternate base 2, base 5 division, giving the sequence10º x 10º > 5º x 5º > 1º x 1º > 0.5º x 0.5º > 0.1º x 0.1º, etc. * Rees, Tony. 2003.

  7. The c-squares global grid – cont’d • Each grid cell identifier (= c-squares code) “knows” the identity of its parent, grandparent, etc. • Aggregated search can be done by interrogating only the required leading chars. of the code, e.g.: • 10º c-square code (~1000 km): 3414 (= WMO square code) • 5º c-square code (~500 km): 3414:2 • 1º c-square code (~100 km: 3414:227 • 0.5º c-square code (~50 km): 3414:227:3 • 0.1º c-square code (~10 km): 3414:227:383 (etc.) (this is the nested set of squares that includes the point at lat -42.82, lon 147.38, in decimal degrees) • Search for character string “3414” (ten degree square), with wildcard appended, will return any of these nested data items • Same available at other levels of the hierarchy as applicable (i.e., search on any parent code can easily be configured to return all of its children as well, if desired) Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 7

  12. Points of interest • C-squares notation for 10º squares is identical to that for WMO 10º squares (i.e., no transformation required) • 1º and 0.5º squares are popular data aggregation sizes at regional scales • 0.5º squares are equivalent to 1:100,000 Australian mapsheets (with global, cf. locally applicable, numbering system) • 0.1º squares and finer are useful for data holdings at sub-regional / local scales • No direct support for 2.5º, 2º, or 0.25º squares in this system, or degrees / mins / secs notation (except 30 min, = 0.5 degrees) Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 12

  13. Who uses what? (Google search hits – October 2007…) • “10 degree squares” OR “ten degree squares”: 193 • “5 degree squares” OR “five degree squares”: 563 • “2.5 degree squares” OR “two point five degree squares”: 4 • “2 degree squares” OR “two degree squares”: 135 • “1 degree squares” OR “one degree squares”: 1,660 • “0.5 degree squares” OR “half degree squares” (30 min): 1,060 • “0.25 degree squares” OR “quarter degree squares” (15 min): 17,300 * • “10 minute squares” OR “ten minute squares”: 249 • “0.1 degree squares” OR “tenth degree squares” (6 min): 575 • “5 minute squares” OR “five minute squares”: 47 • “3 minute squares” OR “three minute squares”: 1 • “1 minute squares” OR “one minute squares”: 51 • “0.01 degree squares” OR “hundredth degree squares” (0.6 min): 1 * NB: (1) “quarter degree squares” are a common standard in use in Africa for wildlife surveys, which accounts for many / most of these hits (2) Of the above, c-squares directly supports the resolutions shown in bold + underline, indirectly could support others (by aggregation / approximate matching??) Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 13

  14. D/M/S vs. decimal degrees… • What fine scale grids (e.g. sub 1-degree) are in use locally / internationally – e.g.: • 30 minute = 0.5 degree (~50 km) • 5 minute = 0.0833 degree (~10 km) • 1 minute = 0.0167 degree (~2 km) • 30 second = 0.00833 degree (~1 km) • 9 second = 0.0025 degree (~250m) • 2 second = 0.00055 degree (~50m) • 1 second = 0.000278 degree (~25m) • Is there a requirement / preference to maintain similar (deg / min / sec) resolutions in the selected system? (cf. c-squares is based on decimal degrees and half steps) • Does this preclude (or encourage) the use of c-squares for resolutions e.g. 0.5 degrees and above? Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 14

  15. Use cases for c-squares, of possible interest to this project • Hierarchical spatial search • Example shown: OBIS (Ocean Biogeographic information System), USA • C-squares as spatial metadata, and associated spatial search (also: mapping) • Example shown: MarLIN (Marine Laboratories Information Network), CSIRO, Australia • C-squares as grid cell identifiers, for data storage, rapid access, and mapping of outputs • Example shown: AquaMaps project (Germany + Philippines) • Variable resolution encoding within the same dataset (or data item) • Example shown: CSIRO (CMAR) satellite data index • Using c-squares for Antarctic / Southern Ocean / Polar data • Examples shown: CMAR satellite data index; online polygon fill algorithm (on c-squares website) Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 15

  24. C-squares as spatial metadata (list of square IDs = “dataset footprint”) (A) (B) …search for matching square (=tile) ID (A) is much more precise than search by bounding box using “overlapping rectangles” test (B)[far fewer false positives] – presuming tile size is well matched to the data and / or intended query scale (may be an optimization issue here) Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 24

  33. Antarctic data – special case or not? • AAD, satellite imagery, oceanographic data – much data from region between Australia and Antarctica, as well as on landmass itself and adjacent waters • Definite integration benefits if on a common grid / spatial query interface, e.g. OBIS example, others… (no fixed boundary in the ocean / natural world) • C-squares covers polar regions as well as rest of world (just have to decide which square to allocate actual pole to!) – uses more squares, but otherwise no intrinsic problem • Example from CMAR satellite data index (uses 0.5 degree squares): Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 33

  37. (what just happened here?) • We clicked on square with bounds(lat) -65 – -70, (lon) 130 – 135 … = c-square 3613:3 (user never sees this, but system generates it for the search) • System searches for unique scenes with prefix “3613:3” in the spatial index, does a join on other table[s] to satisfy any other criteria • Generates list of 473 matching targets in (in this case) <2 seconds • Spatial partitioning used in this system, to optimise search and index rebuild speeds (single table split into 100 smaller ones); “duplicate” single large one retained to quickly retrieve all squares associated with a particular scene (for mapping) fragment of the spatial index… Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 37

  47. Note, (1) C-squares (and the polygon fill algorithm) copes with the polar case with no intrinsic problem • (2) automatic, multi-resolution data compression incorporated into the encoding algorithms on the c-squares web site (can be disabled if desired) • (3) relevant decompression stage incorporated into the c-squares mapper, also can be disabled as required (e.g. for demo purposes i.e. these slides) …Of course, can do much of this (in principle) with any type of grid structure / nomenclature for grid cells, however, c-squares compatible datasets are in general use at sub-national, national, and international scale, e.g.: Tony Rees – C-squares Oct 2007 47
