NetCDF: gdal_translate unable to translate EASE-GRID file properly

Description

Input file: NetCDF, multiple subsets, EASE-GRID (EPSG:3410 http://nsidc.org/data/ease/ease_grid.html )

Commands which I execute: gdal_translate -ot Int16 -scale 0.0 700.0 0 32767 -a_ullr -17321655.5434 7332251.36559 17321655.5434 -7332251.36559 NETCDF:"input_file.nc":interesting_subset result_file.tif

gdalwarp -s_srs "EPSG:3410" -t_srs "EPSG:4326" result_file.tif result_file_WGS84.tif

Results I receive two warnings from gdal_translate:

0Warning 1: Lost metadata writing to GeoTIFF ... too large to fit in tag. Warning 1: Lost metadata writing to GeoTIFF ... too large to fit in tag

Then it seems that gdalwarp comes into infinitive loop - it create file which have enormous size (more than 400MB, while result file from gdal_translate have only 5MB). I need to manually interrupt execution as file stop growing, but gdalwarp do not.


Giving additional parameter for gdal_translate: -b <number>, create result file without warning, but it's suspiciously small (it's only 20 kB),

It looks like mentioned NETCDF have 586 bands. Each band represent different latitude and store three values - median,min,max.

Begining of metadata:

Band 586 Block=3x1 Type=Int16, ColorInterp=Undefined

NoData Value=-32768 Offset: 0, Scale:3.05185094759971e-05 Metadata:

_FillValue=-32768 add_offset=0

Where could we download such a file for testing?

Replying to jratike80:

I use data from ESA - you will need to register to download them. My input data was NetCDF files which contains for each variable following information:

lat, lon, med_min_max

It seems that this array is not accepted by gdalwarp. To overcome this, I read my NetCDF in Python first (I use packages from osgeo import gdal, gdalconst, osr, numpy, scipy.io import netcdf) and save array [:,:,2] (saving only Max value) as GeoTIFF file.

I am able to use such file (GeoTIFF) in gdalwarp without problems.
