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

Reported by: Markus Neteler Owned by: warmerdam
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: GDAL_Raster Version: svn-trunk

Description

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

Note that some funky characters are reported by gdalinfo below.

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

A bug?

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

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!

comment:4 by hamish, 16 years ago

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.

comment:5 by Markus Neteler, 16 years ago

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.

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 Left  (      -0.500,     720.500) (179d57'36.86"W, 89d59'36.78"N)
Lower Left  (  -0.5000000,  -0.5000000) ( 45d 0'0.00"W, 89d59'59.98"N)
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'

ogrinfo -so world_ease_north.shp world_ease_north

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?

comment:13 by Jukka Rahkonen, 9 years ago

By reading the comments the issue was due to difficulties in finding the projection and it was fixed some 6 years ago. I found that I was unable to confirm that. The data download links in this ticket are dead now and image formats used for delivering the snow and ice data are changed during these years. I found data from ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/pub/DATASETS/nsidc0046_weekly_snow_seaice/ but all the files are simple binary grids. Should they be wrapped somehow into NetCDF for making them readable for GDAL.

So unfortunately I can't say what is the status of this ticket. I hope that some of the cc:ed recipients can confirm that issue is fixed and this ticket can be closed.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Closing assuming everything is fixed. Reopen with more elements if not
