Geographic grid system is a set of related global grids at various scales which tessellate the earth into a hierarchy of areal cells and associated cell points. As a frontier research of geographic information science, geographic grid system is not only a geospatial framework, but also a model for geographical feature expression. According to the needs of data management and sharing in integrated scientific investigation of resources and environment, this paper presents a detailed analysis on Chinese national standard of geographic grid. We discover that according to the standard, the apertures of grids are sometimes too large and incongruous, when they are used in multi-resolution applications. In order to making up the inadequacies, the paper extends the radix between one degree (minute) and one minute (second) from 60 to 64 in logical space, where a formal quadtree-like recursive subdivision can be implemented until the one second grid is reached. Grids finer than one second can also be subdivided in a similar manner and be expressed by taking the negative exponentials of 2 as the interval. The paper also designs the extension encoding scheme for quadtree-like grids, so that it could be compatible with the existing national standard of geographic grid. A prototype of multi-level grid generation and management named GridVis 1.01 is developed to validate the feasibility of the proposed schema. Experiments on the real-time 3D visualization of various resources and environmental data are designed to examine the frame refresh rate of the scenes in GridVis. When the 1-degree-grid is used to organize the national 1:250,000 county administrative region data of China, the GTOPO 30 digital elevation model of China, and the 1 km spacing national vegetation cover data of China respectively, the frame refresh rate is 33~52 frames/second (FPS). When the 10-minutes-grid is used to organize the 1 km spacing national land use data, the average frame refresh rate is 30 FPS. When the 1 km grid is used to match the 1 km spacing population data of Ansai county (which locates within Yanan city of Shanxi province), the average frame refresh rate is 50 FPS. All the experimental results suggest that the proposed schema could satisfy the demands of real-time applications.
