NetCDF Global EASE-Grid 8-day Blended SSM/I and MODIS Snow Cover flipped east/west?

Reported by: neteler Owned by: warmerdam
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: GDAL_Raster Version: svn-trunk
Severity: normal Keywords: netcdf

Description

Importing maps from leads to the funny effect that east/west are flipped.

Note that some funky characters are reported by gdalinfo below.

Procedure:

wget ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/pub/DATASETS/snow/nsidc0321v01/north/NL.2004.nsidc0321v01.nc

The projection is described here:  http://nsidc.org/data/ease/ease_grid.htm (and looks better than what QGIS sees).

A bug?

I have a similar problem, with ETOPO1 netCDF grid.

The grid is displayed correctly with GMT programs (grdimage, grdcontour), and is vertical-flipped with GDAL (GRASS, QGIS, gdal_translate).

I've attached a screenshot

I've uploaded the screenshot twice. Please, someone, can delete the first copy, and this message? I can find the way to delete the image. Thanks, and sorry!

FWIW, the 'binary float' grid-registered version of the dataset loads into GRASS correctly using the r.in.bin module. see  http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Global_datasets#ETOPO1

GDAL recognizes that binary float as "EHdr/ESRI .hdr Labelled" but incorrectly guesses Type=Byte, so r.in.gdal imports garbage.

The EASE Grid projection (EPSG 3410) is also explained here:  http://nsidc.org/data/atlas/epsg_3410.html (as PROJ4 parameters). Currently GDAL doesn't detect it in the netCDF files. Bruce pointed out that EASE Global undefined in the PROJ4 files:

# NSIDC EASE-Grid North
<3408> +proj=laea +lat_0=90 +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371228 +b=6371228 +units=m +no_defs  <>
# NSIDC EASE-Grid South
<3409> +proj=laea +lat_0=-90 +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371228 +b=6371228 +units=m +no_defs  <>
# NSIDC EASE-Grid Global
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3410 into PROJ.4 format.

The submitted file in this report should be theoretically detected as NSIDC EASE-Grid North.

Would be cool to read this through GDAL (hence, QGIS, GRASS etc...).

Denis,

it seems that the changes you've commited in r15689 and in r15690 have broken some autotests related to netcdf. See :

Markus,

I have checked in an new version where I corrected the IReadBlock problem. I was able to display the data in OpenEV. I tried to do a gdalwarp on the file and it seems to work but the result did not satisfy me. I am not sure what to do at this point. Everything seem to be fine for your projection.

Give it a try.

Denis,

I get the same result with gdalinfo which looks fine now. But:

Replying to dnadeau:

I tried to do a gdalwarp on the file and it seems to work but the result did not satisfy me.

what was exactly the command line here? I obtain only empty layers when using gdalwarp.

Denis,

the remaining problem might be that only row/col values are written instead of LAEA coodinates:

Corner Coordinates:

Upper Right (     720.500,     720.500) (135d 0'0.00"E, 89d59'27.16"N)
Lower Right (     720.500,      -0.500) ( 89d57'36.86"E, 89d59'36.78"N)
Center      (     360.000,     360.000) (135d 0'0.00"E, 89d59'43.59"N)

If I take a country world map (FreeGIS world map) and reproject to EASE North, I obtain something different:

ogrinfo -so countries_simpl.shp countries_simpl | grep 'GEOGCS\|Extent'

The rendering in QGIS look ok. Could it be that the netCDF driver detects well the projection now but doesn't reproject the pixels yet?
