[Qgis-user] Modis projection (and not MERIS projection)

[Giacomo Fontanelli]

Hello everybody

I apologize because I have to point out two mistakes I made yesterday in my
first mail called "MERIS projection" (it was late night and I was almost
sleeping).

The first mistake is that I work with MODIS and not MERIS.

The second mistake is that the correct EPSG code for the MODIS projection
is 6842, as shown in
http://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/modis-sinusoidal/.

EPSG:6842 is not available in QGIS 2.0, but there is EPSG:53008 (Sinusoidal
spheric) that is almost the same

EPSG:6842 = +proj=sinu +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371007.181 +b=6371007.181
+units=m +no_defs
EPSG:53008= +proj=sinu +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371007 +b=6371007
+units=m +no_defs

At home I still have QGIS 1.8 and I uploaded the new CRS

By now I am in my office and I'm not able to save my custom CRS (EPSG:6842)
because the 2.0 version doesn't have the button "save" in the "custom CRS"
but only "OK".

Any suggestion?

Thank you
