Sinusoidal equal-area inverse: latitude domain check · case 01

Rows beyond the poles are decoded as valid latitudes.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The latitude domain limit is pi instead of pi/2.

VERIFIED REPAIR

At the latitude domain check step restore `if abs(lat_r) > math.pi / 2:`, leaving the rest of the model unchanged.

Unsuccessful approach: Only the northern limit is checked, so rows below the south pole slip through.

Case contract

Input [x, y, lon0] metres on a sphere R = 6371007. lat = y/R radians; if |lat| > pi/2 return None. If cos(lat) < 1e-12 (a pole) return [lon0, +/-90]. Otherwise dl = x/(R*cos(lat)); if |dl| > pi the point is outside the map outline and None is returned. lon = lon0 + deg(dl) wrapped to [-180, 180). Return [lon, lat] degrees rounded to 6 decimals.

Why this case matters

MODIS-style sinusoidal grids are inverted to label pixels; outside-outline pixels must be recognised as fill.

Verification & scope

Stipulated deterministic toy contract on a bounded input domain; results are rounded as stated and no conformance with any published standard or library is claimed. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
