Description
✨ Feature Request
Allow Iris to correctly load data on a polar stereographic grid.
Motivation
We have acces to a high resolution digital terrain model of the south pole which we wish to convert to the UM input files for orography. We cannot use this data at the moment, as ANTS relies on Iris being able to load the data. Regridding to say a lat-lon grid is not appropriate as that either has very large numbers of points close together at the pole or we lose a lot of information at lower latitudes
