I have attached the errors I got. They look like the same that you were describing (I tried both with and without the -o flag). I did however remember the work around I used, which was to:</div><div><br></div><div>1. import the .nc files into MATLAB</div><div>2. Export as GeoTIffs</div><div>3. Read the GeoTiffs into GRASS</div><div><br></div><div>This made sense for me partly because I needed to aggregate daily values to monthly means which I did in step 1, but then never thought much more about why I couldn't import directly into GRASS . Your problem motivated me to look into why I needed this workaround in the first place (which is not much of a workaround unless you have access to MATLAB)… which appears to be that my gdal does not have GMT/netcdf support either (as Markus pointed out yesterday). I am also using WIlliams binaries and frameworks. </div><div><br></div><div>I agree that more detail in the wiki would be helpful, but I think the first step is to compile to update gdal with GMT/NetCDF support. Perhaps William would be interested? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>===================================================================================================================================</div><div>GRASS ERRORS:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>GRASS 6.4.1 (latlon):~ > r.in.gdal input=~/Desktop/ppt_SRESA2_mid_annual_down_anomaly.nc output=ppt_SRESA2_mid_annual_down_anomaly</div><div>ERROR: Projection of dataset does not appear to match current location.</div><div><br></div><div> Location PROJ_INFO is:</div><div> name: Lat/Lon</div><div> proj: ll</div><div> datum: nad83</div><div> ellps: grs80</div><div> towgs84: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0</div><div> no_defs: defined</div><div><br></div><div> Import dataset PROJ_INFO is:</div><div> cellhd.proj = 0 (unreferenced/unknown)</div><div><br></div><div> You can use the -o flag to r.in.gdal to override this check and use</div><div> the location definition for the dataset.</div><div> Consider generating a new location from the input dataset using the</div><div> 'location' parameter.</div><div><br></div><div>GRASS 6.4.1 (latlon):~ > r.in.gdal -o input=~/Desktop/ppt_SRESA2_mid_annual_down_anomaly.nc output=ppt_SRESA2_mid_annual_down_anomaly</div><div>WARNING: Over-riding projection check</div><div>WARNING: G_set_window(): Illegal latitude for North</div><div>GRASS 6.4.1 (latlon):~ > </div></div><div>===================================================================================================================================</div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div></div><div><div>On Feb 7, 2012, at 9:10 PM, Michael Barton wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Thanks Kirk,<div><br></div><div>Here is a copy of the smallest file we tried.
