If your projections have epsg codes, you might use those instead. E.g.:
ogr2ogr -t_srs "EPSG:4326" -s_srs "EPSG:26911" outfile.shp infile.shp

You can check for epsg codes (or their equivalent wkt, proj4, etc.) at http://spatialreference.org .

Hi Frank:

You mentioned that I have not provided a datum definition for the source coordinate system, only an ellipsoid definition. Could you tell me how I can provide the datum definition to get the same result from PROJ4.5?

The command I used is:

ogr2ogr -t_srs "+proj=aea +lat_1=29.5 +lat_2=45.5 +lat_0=23 +lon_0=-96 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs " -s_srs "+proj=lcc +a=6370000.0 +b=6370000.0 +lat_1=33 +lat_2=45 +lat_0=40 +lon_0=-97" wrf12km_nc_g152.shp wrf12km_nc.shp

Thank you very much,

Limei



Limei,

Generally speaking, when going between "real" datums and these spherical based projections, the right thing to do is to apply no shift which is why
the default behavior was changed in PROJ 4.6.

But to get consistent overlay, you really need to know quite a bit about
your data.

Best regards,
