[AWIPS #AXX-837875]: Question about the projection

The screenshot you sent is of the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with 1 
Standard Parallel.
This page from ArcGIS might be a bit more informative on what the different 
parameters of the 
projection mean.  Since this is the 1 Standard Parallel ("_1SP") option, all 
three options of
the latitude of origin, the first standard parallel and the second standard 
parallel are all
equal, so only the latitude of origin is shown as a box to fill in.

Let me know if that helps?
Thanks!
