Dear list,
GRID cannot interpret (tested with 1.9 and 1.10) the coordinate systems
in two different NetCDF files storing oceanographic/meteorological data.
But it can interpret the coordinates in a third NetCDF file.
PANOPLY, as available from http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/, can
correctly display all files in lat-lon (4326).
NetCDF file where GDAL can interpret the coordinates:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13880880/metoffice_foam1_orca025_GLO_ASLV_b20120923_dm20120921.nc
(CF convention is 1.0)
NetCDF files where GDAL cannot interpret the coordinates:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13880880/metoffice_foam1_orca025_NTV_ASLV_b20110921_dm20110921.nc
(CF convention is 1.0)
http://thredds.met.no/thredds/fileServer/metno/proff4km/default/files/proffDefault4km_2013-04-25_00.nc
(be warned: 1.2 Gb) (CF convention is 1.4)
We have got this information from the Norwegian experts:
For PROFF data, the rotated lat/lon coordinates are defined so that each
latitude and each longitude (and therefore each data point) correspond
to elements in the rlat/rlon vectors.
The GeoTransform array mentioned in http://www.gdal.org/frmt_netcdf.html
seems not to be used for these two files.
