I would like to ask for guidance on how staggered grids should be represented within a JEDI model interface.

In our model, some variables are defined on a staggered grid (e.g., different horizontal locations for U/V wind).

What is the recommended approach in JEDI for handling this situation? Is it possible and how to implement multiple Geometry objects to represent staggered grids?

I would greatly appreciate any comments or design suggestions. Thanks!
