Thanks, with -l we can successfully import the Bioclim data which slightly exceed the "world extent".
(for the record, the -l flag was added in r37469 in r.in.gdal)
So only the -n flag remains unclear to me but we didn't need to use it here.
Closing since the original problem is solved.

You could try to import bio1.bil with r.in.gdal into a latlon location and check with r.info if anything strange shows up in the extents and/or resolutions.

GRASS 7.2.svn (latlong):~/software/bla > r.info bio1 [...] | E: 180E W: 180E Res: 0:02:30 |
The E-W extents do not look reasonable to me: E = W = 180E, thus E - W = 0, while it should be W=180W and E=180E. libgis accounts for such cases, resulting in w=180, e=540 (180 + 360), but unfortunately GRASS restricts (not always) longitude extents to [-180, 180].
So, r.import seems to do "extra" to it...
r.import is a script calling r.in.gdal and r.proj. The reported error
ERROR: Input raster map is outside current region
comes from r.proj. I guess that the input raster region's E-W extent is mapped to W=180W and E=540E which does not overlap with the target region.

With some debugging, the extents as derived from GDAL geotransform parameters are
North: 90.000000000000028 South: -60.000000000001165 West: -180.00000000000335 East: 179.99999999999949
West is slightly smaller than -180, changed by G_lon_parts()
to 179.99999999999775, then converted to DMS where seconds are rounded by printing with "%f" (default 6 decimal places). The final result is 180E, same as for East = 179.99999999999949 after gone through G_lon_format()
calling G_lon_parts()
. When reading this region definition in DMS format, G_adjust_Cell_head()
converts W=180, E=180 to W=180, E=540.
I suggest to add some cleaning to r.in.gdal to remove these tiny fp representation errors. Also, I am not sure if it is a good idea to force longitudes within the range of -180,180 because there are raster maps starting west of 180W (e.g. SRTM and derived like GMTED2010) and many meteorological data are within 0,360 (e.g. CMIP5 climate models). GRASS wraps everything to -180,180, later on tries to fix any zero EW extent but sometimes makes things worse. This longitude-wrapping is also the reason why some raster imports result in a very narrow vertical stripe near 180E.
So, r.import seems to do "extra" to it...

Related tickets are #167, #352, #378, #1594, #1734, #2931, there are probably more.
West-East extent
Currently, GRASS wraps any ll coordinates outside -180, 180 to -180, 180. This causes troubles with raster maps outside this range, and there are many valid raster data existing with a West-East extent outside this range. Examples are GMTED2010 with a range of 180:00:00.5W to 179:59:59.5E, or meteorological or climate data with a West-East extent of appr. 0, 360, often shifted by about half a cell size. I suggest to relax GRASS latlong wrapping to allow regions to be within -180,360 plus a tolerance of ew_res. This would allow to import e.g. a global mosaik of SRTM tiles where the first and last columns are identical and the West-East extent is 360 degrees + ew_res. Single coordinates should not be wrapped automatically, this is creating too many problems. Instead, a window can be wrapped, i.e. shift west and east together, not separately. This guarantees that east is always larger than west. Currently, GRASS produces internally windows with e.g. w=180 e=540, this would also be avoided.
North-South extent
I suggest to allow extents above 90 and below -90 as long as 90, -90 bounds are not exceeded by more than half a cell size. The reasoning is that as long as the cell center is within 90, -90, the grid geometry is accepted as ok.
Regarding the ll extents, libgis would need to be fixed in ll_format.c and ll_scan.c where the checks for and wrapping to -90,90, and -180,180 need to be removed. In adj_cellhd.c, a new simple window wrapping method would need to be added:
while (west >= 180) { west -= 360; east -= 360; } while (east <= -180) { west += 360; east += 360; }
Import of raster data with corrupt grid geometry
There are lots of raster data where the metadata on the grid geometry are slightly wrong, e.g. by cutting the precision of the resolution which will in turn result in wrong extents reported by GDAL. Fixing the resolution in latlong is often but not always relatively easy by converting the resolution from degrees to seconds, then rounding seconds to the nearest multiple of 0.5 seconds. It is rather difficult to figure out which extent would then need to be adjusted. Often, the reference point is the lower left (South-West) corner, but not always. Considering the reference point as correct, the corresponding extent can be re-calculated, e.g. if South is assumed correct, get North as South + fixed ns_res * nrows. An attempt to fix such a corrupt grid geometry can be made in r.in.gdal.

Excellent! I see that:
- Number of rows and cols match the figures reported by gdalinfo.
- The resolution is now correctly set to 0.00833333333333333 (unlike the original resolution of 0.008333333300000 with its precision loss).
Observation: Still the E-W center is not 0 and n=83.9998611111111 (I expected > 84N but maybe an issue with the original data?):

Another question:
What would be the best way now to "silence" the excess messages? Adjust the computational region and make a map copy with r.mapcalc to fit into -180..+180, -90..+90?
Finally: yet g.region is picky here:

I have tested r70664 with the GMTED2010 elevation model:
original resolution and extents:
gdalinfo /vsizip/vsicurl/http://edcintl.cr.usgs.gov/downloads/sciweb1/shared/topo/downloads/GMTED/Grid_ZipFiles/mn30_grd.zip/mn30_grd -nofl -norat [...] Pixel Size = (0.008333333300000,-0.008333333300000) Corner Coordinates: Upper Left (-180.0001389, 83.9998604) (180d 0' 0.50"W, 83d59'59.50"N) Lower Left (-180.0001389, -90.0001389) (180d 0' 0.50"W, 90d 0' 0.50"S) Upper Right ( 179.9998597, 83.9998604) (179d59'59.49"E, 83d59'59.50"N) Lower Right ( 179.9998597, -90.0001389) (179d59'59.49"E, 90d 0' 0.50"S) Center ( -0.0001396, -3.0001392) ( 0d 0' 0.50"W, 3d 0' 0.50"S)
resolution and extents of the imported map:
GRASS 7.3.svn (latlong_wgs84):~ > g.region raster=gmted2010_mn30_grd -g 90 degree south is exceeded by 0.0166667 cells 90 degree south is exceeded by 0.0166667 cells 90 degree south is exceeded by 0.0166667 cells projection=3 zone=0 n=83.9998611111111 s=-90.0001388888889 w=-180.000138888889 e=179.999861111111 nsres=0.00833333333333333 ewres=0.00833333333333333 rows=20880 cols=43200 cells=902016000
Why g.region -g? Here, g.region -p is more informative because it uses DMS format.
Observation: Still the E-W center is not 0 and n=83.9998611111111 (I expected > 84N but maybe an issue with the original data?):
Why do you expect N > 84N? gdal reports 83d59'59.50"N.
Another question:
What would be the best way now to "silence" the excess messages?
These messages are important because they indicate region settings that are not compatible with G7.2 or earlier.
Adjust the computational region and make a map copy with r.mapcalc to fit into -180..+180, -90..+90?
Why do you want to fit the map into -180 / 180, -90 / 90? The original map extents with east corrected for limited fp precision are
w=180:00:00.50W e=179:59:59.50E n=83:59:59.50N s=90:00:00.50S
In trunk, this is a perfectly valid region, even though South is south of 90S by half a second.
Also, r.region is much easier than r.mapcalc in this case, if there is still need to correct the extents and resolution of the imported map.

(the "ERROR: proj" is a bit disturbing as a message, since using r.import)
It looks ok to me - thanks for the hard work esp. by Markus Metz on improving the global data import and treatment of global data with coordinate precision issues!
Closing, this improvement is part of the recently published GRASS GIS 7.4.0.
I added r.in.gdal's -l flag, it works then, although I don't actually know what went wrong there.
