[MapServer-users] UVRASTER reprojection

Hi Seth,

Thanks for your reply, we're just reprojecting the data. I'll take a closer
look at the test case too, since it seems like that should be reprojecting
from stereographic to geographic. I should also be able to pull together
some test data in the next few days too, I can open an issue with it when
I've put it together.

Here are a couple of example requests:

One in EPSG:4326
localhost:8000/wms?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&STYLES=wind_barb&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&TIME=2025-10-06T07%3A00%3A00Z&DIM_PRESSURE=50.0&DIM_REFERENCE_TIME=2025-10-06T03%3A00%3A00Z&LAYERS=wind_pl_vector_meps_det_vdiv_2_5km_calculations&WIDTH=1304&HEIGHT=1504&CRS=EPSG%3A3857&BBOX=-2460529.2703191666%2C4596419.518351211%2C6809846.057963322%2C15288631.55342549

This is one in EPSG:3411:
localhost:8000/wms?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&STYLES=wind_barb&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&TIME=2025-10-06T16%3A00%3A00Z&DIM_PRESSURE=50.0&DIM_REFERENCE_TIME=2025-10-06T03%3A00%3A00Z&LAYERS=wind_pl_vector_meps_det_vdiv_2_5km_calculations&WIDTH=1438&HEIGHT=1504&CRS=EPSG%3A3411&BBOX=404935.5094684181%2C-3769428.4764078585%2C4977748.7994076125%2C1013263.5876175575
