Other software may not > know how to deal with the projections, so thats the argument for including. I agree with this -- there is no need to have both. The key thing is that the application have a library-supplied way to navigate the pixels -- for current MSG and upcoming GOES-R, the projections are "fixed", so it would make sense to only define a projection for this and not supply lat/lon values for each pixel. tom -- Tom Whittaker University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science & Engineering Center (SSEC) Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) 1225 W.
