Coordinate reference system

Fields from the NetCDF files in hazard_assessment/non_bias_corrected are specified on the rotated pole EURO-CORDEX domain (coordinates rlat, rlon):

cartopy.crs.RotatedPole(pole_latitude=39.25, pole_longitude=-162)

Fields of non-rotated latitude and longitude (lat and lon) are provided with all NetCDF files in hazard_assessment.
