-The GEOS-5 now has products that are stored natively in cubed-sphere grid. The utilities listed here may help users visualize the data in cubed-sphere grid or map the data to lat-lon grid.
+Several GEOS-5 products are now produced on the native cubed-sphere computational grid.    Although this format may be less familiar, this choice has several advantages for some user communities.   In particular, the Chemical Transport Modeling (CTM) community can use native mass-flux products to significantly improve conservation properties when running with GEOS-5. To minimize transition difficulties for GEOS-5 data consumers, this page provides instructions for visualizing cubed-sphere data products using a variety of common packages:   python, Matlab, IDL, and GRaDS, and Panoply. This page also provides instructions for downloading and building an executable that can regrid cubed-sphere products onto a traditional lat-lon grid.
