Hi-

I have some climate files that have a rotated-pole projection defined as:

        char rotated_pole ;
rotated_pole:grid_mapping_name = "rotated_latitude_longitude" ;
                rotated_pole:grid_north_pole_latitude = 90.f ;
                rotated_pole:grid_north_pole_longitude = 0.f ;

When I read this through the netCDF-Java library, the data end up 180 degrees off from where it is supposed to be (African data is over Hawaii). I talked to John Caron at Unidata and he doesn't know if it is a problem with the grid definition or the rotated-pole code in netCDF-Java.

Does anyone on this list have a pointer to the equations for the rotated pole and or know if there anything wrong with the grid mapping definition? Should the above imply a unity transformation?

Sample files are at:

thanks for the help!
