ncdump -h reports the same correct standard parallels (25) whereas Coordinate System reports 0 for both standard parallels. It appears the projection is a Lambert Conformal Conic with 2 standard parallels, but they are the same effectively making it a lcc with 1 standard parallel. <br clear="all">

I am downloading a netcdf file from a thredds data server. It contains 4 grib datasets of weather data. When I run gdalinfo on one of these subdatasets, the standard parallels in the netCDF metadata (marked by astrisks) differs from the standard parallels in the reported Coordinate system:<br>

I am curious where this discrepancy is taking place. I kind of think it is a typo or a mistake from the data server, but I can't peg it down. Any thoughts?<br>

have you run ncdump on the netcdf file? That should tell you what's int eh file, so you can determine if the thredds server is doing the right thing:<br>
<br>
ncdump -h <a href="http://name_of_file.nc" target="_blank">name_of_file.nc</a><br>
<br>
(the -h) means you only want the header info -- not all the data.<br>
