This PR builds on #2455, when we realised that we don't actually rely on UnitConverters for the VectorField interpolation. That means that we don't need UnitConverters at all. And since they were a bit of a beast to work with, this PR removes them altogether 🥳

The only downside, as far as I can see, is that sampling fieldset.U or fieldset.V separately (so not as fieldset.UV) leads to velocities that are not converted from m/s to degrees/s, so can't be used inside kernels (unless users do the conversion themselves)

Base automatically changed from unitconversion_for_cgridvelocity to fieldset_from_nemo January 12, 2026 13:17

I think this makes sense. Also what you mentioned @erikvansebille about having velocity handle the unit conversion of velocities to be relative to the grid
