I am trying to convert projection EPSG:3408 from meters to degrees.
Below is the WKT for the projection:
PROJCS["NSIDC EASE-Grid North",
GEOGCS["Unspecified datum based upon the International 1924 Authalic
Sphere",
DATUM["Not_specified_based_on_International_1924_Authalic_Sphere",
SPHEROID["International 1924 Authalic Sphere",6371228,0,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","7057"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6053"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4053"]],
UNIT["metre",1,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],
PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",90],
PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",0],
PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","3408"],
AXIS["X",UNKNOWN],
AXIS["Y",UNKNOWN]]
I followed these steps
(https://www.lizardtech.com/support/knowledge-base-article/how-do-i-create-a-custom-wkt-to-change-meters-to-feet/)
to convert the above projection into degrees and this is what I came up
with:
PROJCS["NSIDC EASE-Grid North",
GEOGCS["Unspecified datum based upon the International 1924 Authalic
Sphere",
DATUM["Not_specified_based_on_International_1924_Authalic_Sphere",
SPHEROID["International 1924 Authalic Sphere",6371228,0,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","7057"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6053"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4053"]],
* UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328],*
PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],
PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",90],
PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",0],
PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","3408"],
AXIS["X",UNKNOWN],
AXIS["Y",UNKNOWN]]
I have been unable to get GeoServer to render a layer using this projection.
I did define the projection in GeoServer's epsg.properties file and
restarted GeoServer to pick up the change.
Can anyone tell me how to translate projections from meters to degrees?
Thanks.
