Hi list,

We are experiencing problems with GeoTIFF images generated by gdalwarp (v1.9.2) 
while map projecting towards a Polar Stereographic projection, particularly 
EPSG:3031 (although other PS map projections showed the same effect). The 
source image is a World Mercator (EPSG:3395) projected GeoTIFF which displays 
and reports map proejction info correctly in QGIS, ArcMap, and others. Running

gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:3395 -t_srs EPSG:3031 test.3395.tif test.3031.tif

generates a GeoTIFF whose map projection info cannot be read using ArcMap 
(v10.1 in our case). For the out image gdalinfo is reporting

>gdalinfo test.3031.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: test.3031.tif
Size is 398, 398
Coordinate System is:
LOCAL_CS["WGS 84 / Antarctic Polar Stereographic",
    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["WGS_1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
                AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","3031"],
    UNIT["metre",1]]
....

Two items seem to be wrong/missing:
1) The LOCAL_CS definition instead of an expected PROJCS definition
2) No projection parameters like PROJECTION["Polar Stereographic..."], 
PARAMETER["central_meridian",0], UNIT["metre",1,..].. exist, only the AUTHORITY 
including EPSG code 3031.

In addition, it appears that some (not all) GeoTIFF files projected using 
gdalwarp (1.9.1) into Polar Stereographic (EPSG:3031) as above cause problems 
when publishing via the Geoserver admin GUI (v2.2.x).  The problem appears when 
trying to save the raster layer's properties - the native SRS appears 
undefined, presumably because Geotools has had issues with the LOCAL_CS header, 
so that only "reproject native to declared" actually works.  The other two 
options ("keep native"  and "force declared") cause a stack trace, and failure 
to save the layer properties.

Files are available at ftp://ftp.bas.ac.uk/ancz/test.3395.tif and 
ftp://ftp.bas.ac.uk/ancz/test.3031.tif

Any help appreciated.
Andreas
