Spatio-temporal grid data form a core structure in Earth and Space sciences alike. While Array Databases have set out to support this information category they only offer integer indexing, correspond-ing to equidistant grids. However, often grids in reality have irreg-ular structures, such as raw satellite swath data. We present an approach to modeling spatio-temporal regular and non-regular grids in a coherent manner, suitable for querying, transporting, and storing such data while remaining format indep-endent. We briefly describe an implementation based on the com-bination of a relational and an array DBMS. Our model is curr-ently under adoption as an international standard by OGC and ISO.
