# tile_start to execute jobs common for all tiles on startup

# set_NN_tile to set a weather tile of type NN
# create_NN to create the cloud configuration NN
# adjust_p to make sure pressure variation cannot exceed limits between tiles
# calc_geo to get local Cartesian geometry for latitude conversion
# get_lat to get latitude from Cartesian coordinates
# get_lon to get longitude from Cartesian coordinates
