ISO/TC 211 Multi-Lingual Glossary of Terms (MLGT)

Note 1 to entry: A positive integer ratio ${\displaystyle n}$ refinement of DGGS parent cells yield n times as many child cells as parent cells.

Note 2 to entry: For a two-dimensional DGGS (as defined for EAERS in this document) this is the surface area ratio.

Note 3 to entry: In DGGS literature [34] the term aperture has been used instead of refinement ratio. Refinement ratio is preferred because it is clearer in meaning to audiences outside the early DGGS community.
