Hi everyone, My aim is to extract the visible and infrared imagery from the DMSP/OLS 'smooth' data (with the format of OIS). Because the OIS belongs to swath data, I think the current GridDatatype is unsuitable to process this format. Definitely using the method "ucar.nc2.FileWriter.writeToFile", we can get the corresponding netCDF file and we can view the visible and infrared imagery of the netCDF file in NetCDF Tools. Then I want to write the geotiff with GeotiffWriter, but it failed because the the axis in this file is unequally spacing (lat, lon). That's why the GeotiffWriter throws an exception at GridCoordSystem.isRegularSpatial(), the exception info was "Must have 1D x and y axes for infraredImagery". So it seems that I can not get the geotiff file from the generated netCDF file. So I changed to use gadl_translate tools to generate geotiff file. The good news was I got the geotiff files and these files can be viewed correctly. The bad news was that when I path this geotiff file with gdalinfo, it displayed that this file was not a valid geotiff, without the Coordinate System. My question is how could extract different band from the swath data and write them to geotiff? Does netCDF can perform this task? If I can not achieve this aim only by netCDF, can anyone give me some suggestion? Maybe convert swath into grid is a effect method, but I have not found any tools could do this. The original OIS data is downloaded from the following FTP address: ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/DMSP/IBAMA Any advices is appreciated. Many thanks.
