Constituent forms a rigid arrangement of particles that support one another at their points of contact...constituting a mechanically firm structure capable of supporting open pore spaces, although int
erstices may be occupied by cement or matrix
Cellular structure of the photosphere visible at high spatial resolution. Individual granules, which represent the tops of small convection cells, are 200 to 2000 km in diameter and have lifetimes of
8 to 10 minutes.

d binary data in separate, but tightly coupled files. Granulesshould not be used to group files that have simple relationships or whichare associated through a parent resource. For example, each file containinga time interval data for a Numerical Data resource would each be considereda Granule. The ParentID of a Granule resource must be a NumericalDataresource. The attributes of a Granule supersede the corresponding attributesin the NumericalData resource.
