-    Grid construction follows a gnomonic coordinate system. An
-    inscribed cube is projected onto the surface of the sphere of
-    the Earth. This creates six, non-overlapping faces/tiles that
-    contain the surface area of the sphere. For more information
-    on the NOAA-GFDL grid construction methods, please visit:

-    which is a pdf describing the FV3 dynamical core, by
-    Harris, L.; Chen, X.; Putnam, W.; et. al.
+    The grid data must define the verticies, centroids, and mid-points
+    on edge of the cells contained in the computation. For more information
