Hi Brian and Jonathan,

thank you for your help. I want to make just one point:

For a complete description of the rotated lat/lon transformation, one 
needs the angle between the North Poles, e.g.
grid_mapping="rotated_latitude_longitude north_pole_latitude: 32.5 
north_pole_longitude: 170. north_pole_angle: 10."
However, in most cases the angle will be chosen as zero. Therefore, if 
"north_pole_angle" is not given, a default angle of zero may be applied.


Regards
Burkhardt
