[gdal-dev] problem with wrong corner coordinates in a projected raster

Colleagues

I want to georeference and project a raster image. I have an incorrect 
result where the image is improperly projected, and I am unsure why.

The original image is "SST_plot_New_Zealand_Whangarei_clahe.tif" 
<http://u.pc.cd/fy8>. (Note: I used links to my cloud server directory 
to avoid sending attachments to the list).  I created this image with 
known bounding box limits:

/snip

# elif region == "New_Zealand_Whangarei":
     #     lat_min = (-36.0)  # needs to exactly match the ERDDAP 
lat/lon ranges
     #     lat_max = (-35.0)
     #     lon_min = (172.5)
     #     lon_max = (175.0)

/end snip

I used these commands in the command line:

gdal_translate -of GTiff -outsize 1400 0 -a_srs EPSG:3857 -a_ullr 172.5 
-35.0 175.0 -36.0 ./SST_plot_New_Zealand_Whangarei_clahe.tif 
./test_trans.tif

gdalwarp ./test_trans.tif ./test_proj.tif

The result from gdal translate is test_trans.tif 
<http://u.pc.cd/D4EctalK>. The result from gdal warp is test_proj.tif 
<http://u.pc.cd/a2actalK>. The problem, as you will see in the 
./test_proj.tif file, is that the corner coordinates are not projected, 
which means the file is not properly projected. I'm obviously making a 
mistake.Would someone mind helping me to correct my error, please?

Best fishes
