[Proj] proj4 specifications for a rotated latlon grid on a sphere?

[Mikael Rittri]

That's interesting, Hermann, I didn't know about ob_tran. 

After some googling, I found an older post, also by you, where
you also used the flag

    -m 57.2957795130823

which seems to be needed to get degrees instead of radians.

See

and

and also

On the related topic, here is a reference saying that meteorological
long/lat data on a sphere needs no datum shift to WGS84:

You could try:
+proj=ob_tran +o_proj=latlon +o_lon_p=-162 +o_lat_p=39.25 +lon_0=180
