Hi all,
I am trying to position a radar image with coordinate variables x and y,
and additional coordinate variables lat and lon in IDV. The x and y are
the projected coordinate variables, lat and lon are the additional
coordinate variables.
I noticed that when I use Conventions=CF-1.2, IDV uses the x and y
coordinate variables in combination with the projection parameters. With
Conventions=CF-1.4, IDV uses the lat/lon coordinate variables.
My polar stereographic radar image is shifted to the south for 0.1
degrees when using CF-1.2 conventions. In this case the X and Y
coordinate variables are used. When I use the additional coordinate
variables lon and lat, the image is projected correctly.
It seems that my projection parameters are not correct or that IDV does
not support all the projection parameters I provided.
I was wondering whether IDV supports the CF semi_major_axis and
semi_minor_axis attributes?
Thank you already,
Maarten Plieger
PS: The projection parameters are:
projection:grid_mapping_name = "polar_stereographic" ;
projection:latitude_of_projection_origin = 90. ;
projection:straight_vertical_longitude_from_pole = 0. ;
projection:scale_factor_at_projection_origin =
0.933012709177451 ;
projection:false_easting = 0. ;
projection:false_northing = 0. ;
projection:inverse_flattening = 298.1833 ;
projection:semi_major_axis = 6378140. ;
projection:semi_minor_axis = 6356750. ;
projection:proj4_params = +proj=stere +lat_0=90
+lat_ts=90 +lon_0=0 +k=0.933012709177451 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6378140
+b=6356750 +units=m"
