For GDAL to match the CF proposal (accepted) the grid_mapping_name should be changed from ""geostationary_satellite"" to ""geostationary"". An additional sweep_angle_axis field (default=""y"") should also be specified. (Apparently proj4.8.0 supports the ""sweep"" keyword https://trac.osgeo.org/proj/wiki/proj%3Dgeos#Noteonsweep, PJ_geos.c). However, WKT/osr/ogr do not support sweep at the moment (that I can see). There seem to be some differences in the WKT and CF projection attribute names: - ""satellite_height"" (WKT) should be specified using ""perspective_point_height"" attribute (CF, netCDF-java) - ""longitude_of_central_meridian"" (WKT) should be ""longitude_of_projection_origin"" attribute (CF, netCDF-java) I had a look at some of the source and can see where a few changes could be made, but I'm not across all the interconnected components of GDAL (ogr/srs/cf). I would be happy to help test. Cheers, Leon" enhancement closed normal 2.1.0 OGR_SRS 2.0.0 normal fixed
