Re: netcdf to geotiff

Hi John,

Kunicki isn't at the USGS? He did pretty good work there.

Yes, please forward me the information. While reading Geotiff as an IOSP would be useful I mostly want to know what the state is around writing them

Hi John,

We're developing data format requirements for the ABoVE project. I am pushing for CF-NetCDF for gridded data.

There is of course resistance from the science folks about this (they're a bunch of pussies when it comes to any sort of change). They really like GeoTIFFs in this community.

What is the state of the NetCDF-> GeoTIFF conversion.  I assume it still works? Are there any limitations in what can be written?

Thanks,
Jeff

hi jeff:

we havent developed much of the geotiff writer since i worked on it long ago. it can only do a few projections. however, tom kunicki (was at usgs, now at boundless) developed a very extensive library, and our intention is to make an optional module for cdm with it. i havent had time to look at it closely; i can forward info on it if you want to evaluate it for your purposes.
