Dear Jerl, Simon,
Apologize for mixing into this thread but I am currently investigating how to process EUMETCAST data to more usuable formats like NetCDF and GeoTIFF. The data stream contains MSG HRIT data and GOES15/17 + MTSAT2 LRIT data. I'll also need to reproject like you do so this post already proves useful!

I can read the MSG data trough gdal/meteosatlib but I can't read the GOES and MTSAT2 LRIT data yet. Do you perhaps have some useful pointers to software to use? Online documentation is rather scarce...

Thanks Reinoud

Thanks Simon!

I'll give it a shot. Meteosat is definitely a pain, and it's one of the satellites I'm working with.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you typically have in your -a_ullr designation for gdal_translate? Or are you pulling out sections and it varies? I'd like to get the full image, if possible.

Thanks again!

Jerl

    Hi Jerl,
    We work with Meteosat data in full disk projection and it's a bit
    of a headache! Try these commands in GDAL and see if they work for
    you:

    gdal_translate -a_srs  "+proj=geos +a=6378169 +b=6356583.8
    +lon_0=9.49 +h=35785831" -a_ullr
    $up_left_x $up_left_y $low_rig_x $low_rig_y $INFILE $TEMPFILE
    gdalwarp -s_srs '+proj=geos +lon_0=9.49 +h=35785831 +x_0=0.0'
    -t_srs '+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84' -tr 0.01 0.01 -te 0 20  70 70
    -order 3 $TEMPFILE $OUTFILE

    Just remember to change the +lon_0 to whatever you need for GOES.
    Also change the -tr and -te for gdal :-) You can also add +lat_0
    but to be honest I never found it made a difference (perhaps it is
    ignored?)

    Cheers,
    Simon

    Hi guys:

    I have a few data sets that come from the GOES satellites (Full
    Disk) and a couple others.  I can use one of the SSEC's programs
    to convert from their format to a netCDF.  No useful SRS info
    comes along in the conversion.

    I've applied an SRS to them using gdal_translate and PROJ.4 that
    looks like:

    "+proj=ortho +lon_0=-79.8 +lat_0=.208"  (lon/lat is the position
    of one of the satellites)

    (I've also tried):
    +proj=ortho +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84 +lon_0=-79.8 +lat_0=.208

    I'm wanting to get them into EPSG:4326.  When I do this, I end up
    with corner coordinates of a very small area just below the
    satellites position.

    Does anyone have an suggestions that might help me warp this into
    position?  I'm sure there's something obvious that I'm missing.
    I found this page, and the copied/pasted bit about the projection,
    but my attempts have not been successful.

    http://www.gdal.org/frmt_msg.html
    /Georeference and Projection/
    /
    /
    /The images are using the Geostationary Satellite View projection.
    Most GIS packages don't recognize this projection (we only know of
    ILWIS that does have this projection), but gdalwarp.exe can be
    used to re-project the images./

    Thanks!
