@JimBiardCics The `grid_mapping` attributes were introduced to allow software to do the transformation if it wanted to, for instance to transform other locations (apart from the coordinates and boundaries) or do other computations (such as working out local directions or cell areas). They are optional because generic software does not need to be able to do the transformation if the 2D lat and lon coordinates are required to be present.
