Hello Group, <br>
<br>
I'm having some problem converting modis MOD09A1datasets into GeoTiff. <br>
The command I'm running is <br>
<br>
gdal_translate.exe -sds
"C:\MODISASC\unzipped\MOD09A1.A2000153.fn_bwghanzi.004.2003020051319.hdf"
C:\MODISASC\MOD09A1_A2000153_fn_bwghanzi_tif<br>
<br>
The problem is that the Tif images are created but the projection
information is missing. It puts a dummy 0,0 value for the Easting and
Northing. The error message I get is " Lost metadata writing to GeoTIFF
... too large to fit in tag". <br>
<br>
Any ideas as to why this error is popping out. I was able to
successfully convert another MOD09A1 data set at a different location,
this one was correctly georeferenced. When i did a gdalinfo on the
files it turns out the file with the problem has a slightly different
LOCALGRANULEID (this one is spread over two lines) <br>
<br>
LOCALGRANULEID=/ss1/ftp/incoming/subsets/TERRA/MOD_SS.&<br>
MOD09A1.A2000153.fn_bwghanzi.004.2003020051319.hdf<br>
<br>
The file with no problem has LOCALGRANULEID=MOD_SS.MOD09A1.A2000145.fn_czbilykr.004.2003017145533.hdf <br>
<br>
Could this be a the reason why the tag doesn't fit. <br>
<br>
Please help me figure this one. <br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated. <br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
<br>
