Hi,
I tried to write some code to read grid_mapping as stipulate in Appendix F.
But, I got some problems with the example file RUC.nc.
Lambert_Conformal_projection did not have a standard_parallel #2 variable, and
I did not know how to convert it to OGR. (The code is comment out at th e end
of netcdfdataset.cpp for futur implementation. )
Regards,
Denis

Hi Frank,
I believe the file is correct. Please refer to CF conventions document at
http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/eaton/cf-metadata/CF-1.0.html
Chapter 5.6 and Appendix F.
Actually the data is in UTM projection, but I can't find how to specify
UTM in netCDF. So I used Transverse Mercator instead. Is there any other way
to specify projections?
There are two variables called xdim and ydim. From them you can get the
x-coordinate and y-coordinate of every pixel. Therefore we can get anything
we want such as the offset, origin, etc. And also there are lat/lon
variables storing the lat/lon of every pixel. That makes the netCDF file
much larger than the original HDF-EOS file. If you have any better idea to
avoid those unnecessary variables, please let me know. Thanks.
