Ive run into an interesting use case, we have a series of model runs that are tracking some moving weather. The projection is changing its parameters from one run to the next, eg:
model run n:
char Lambert_Conformal;
:grid_mapping_name = "lambert_conformal_conic";
:standard_parallel = 30.079;
:longitude_of_central_meridian = -86.117;
:latitude_of_projection_origin = 30.079;
model run n+1:
char Lambert_Conformal;
:grid_mapping_name = "lambert_conformal_conic";
:standard_parallel = 29.474;
:longitude_of_central_meridian = -85.158;
:latitude_of_projection_origin = 29.474;
I was going to try to create an aggregated dataset out of these runs, and allow users to slice it in various ways. But I dont think we have a way of encoding this, since the info is in the attributes, not in tha data variable values. Anyone have any thoughts (other than reprojecting, which i dont plan to do)?
