[Gdal-dev] NOAA 14 geocoding?

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

I have ordered a coulpe of AVHRR images from CLASS archives
(http://www.class.noaa.gov) for Northern Italy:

ftp://ftp.class.noaa.gov/A2585871/
(each image 3-4MB).

To geocode them, I used gdalwarp but the images didn't
cover Northern Italy after geocoding (they appear East of
the Caspian Sea):

# apply GCPs with thin plate spline transformer
gdalwarp -tps -of HFA -t_srs "EPSG:4326" -co COMPRESS=YES \
  NSS.LHRR.NJ.D99174.S1236.E1248.B2308484.GC.L1261491 \
  NSS.LHRR.NJ.D99174.S1236.E1248.B2308484.GC.L1261491.img

The resulting images are also almost North-South oriented which
is unlikely.

I used the "generate map" feature of CLASS to verify the
position before ordering.

Is it possible that the NOAA 14 format differs?

Markus
