    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks, this is NOT the standard Web
      Mercator projection. I am aware of EPSG:90013 and EPSG:3857. This
      projection is used with HYCOM data that I have extracted into
      geotif files so that I can accurately project that onto EPSG:3857.
      It took some fiddling with the values to get to overlay visually
      correctly. HYCOM data is weird in that it uses two different
      projections based on if the data is above or below some latitude.<br>

        <div>However I have seen strange parameters on your projection.
          The radius of the sphere is the "average" 3671 km, and you set
          a false easting and northing of just 4.4 km. Is that trying to

    Ok I get this adding by <span style="font-family:monospace">+type=crs
      but how do I add it to the proj database so I can access it
      referencing it by something like EPSG:90014?<br>
      <br>

          I used to do that too, but switched to EPSG:3857 its
