<div dir="ltr">Roger,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the info and link. Using a modified version of your code I was able to create and import into GRASS a GeoTIFF with the proper georeferencing. The coordinate system units are in meters though, and I'd prefer to have them in degrees lat/lon. Do you know if there's a way to specify that using the oar or gdal routines in your code?</div>

As Etienne told you, the geotransform and projection from your files is not in the format that GDAL can understand.<div>
I wrote a script that reads the projection and calculates the geotransform to save it in a GeoTIFF file:</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>The script also interpolates the WRF sigma levels to the desired pressure level, so you will have to look for the functions that you need.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, the solution is quite complicated, and using cdo, nco or other tools (I use ARWPost) may be easier.</div>
