Hello,
I am trying to visualise GOES-16 data, but the output projection from
gdal_translate appears faulty.
This is the command I use:
gdal_translate -a_srs "+proj=geos +a=6378137. +units=m +no_defs
+b=6356752.31414 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0 +ellps=GRS80 +lon_0=-75.0
+f=.00335281068119356027 +h=35786023. +sweep=x" -a_ullr $ulx $uly $lrx
$lry [input_file] [output_file]
For East Coast USA the results look fine, the output image matches a
coastline shapefile. However, for the West coast the shapefile and image
appear offset by tens of km. The problem is even worse on the East side
of the image (West Africa). An example is available here:
https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/profiles/proud/goesr-proj-42831.png
I've also tried without +f, without +sweep=x, with various difference +a
and +b values and with different +ellps settings. All result in a
problematic projection.
Any ideas what is happened? I've already asked NOAA about this, their
tool (WCT) displays the projection properly. GDAL and NASA's panoply
tool do not.
All the best,
Simon
