[gdal-dev] Export a geotiff to netcdf in lat lon coordinates

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Tony,

Here are my steps.

Have a nice weekend.


***********

#use gdalinfo to get summary (see https://gdal.org/programs/gdalinfo.html)
gdalinfo -noct N_197901_concentration_v3.0.tif

#review source EPSG projection (found from gdalinfo command above)
in web browser goto: http://epsg.io/3411

#review desired output projection (lat/long)
in web browser goto: http://epsg.io/4326

#transform to NetCDF
gdal_translate -f netCDF N_197901_concentration_v3.0.tif 
N_197901_concentration_v3.0.nc

#reproject to lat/long, which is EPSG:4326 
(https://gdal.org/programs/gdalwarp.html)
gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:3411 -t_srs EPSG:4326 
N_197901_concentration_v3.0.nc N_197901_concentration_v3.0_4326.nc

#examine reprojected file (verify "corner coordinates" look proper)
gdalinfo -noct N_197901_concentration_v3.0_4326.nc

   * for all commands I used MS4W 4.0.1, on Windows, from https://ms4w.com
