I have some SMOS soil moisture data packaged in a netcdf format distributed by "cp34-bec". I have been able to use GDAL to extract this data as a raster layer, using a projection i think is appropriate and a geotransform that is present in the netcdf.
The problem is that, while the image should span an area on earths surface 5x8 degrees in size, it instead spans an area that is 5x8 meters in size. Essentially, if these units were being treated as degrees in Arcmap and Qgis instead of meters, everything would be great. I have looked through the GDAL metadata commands and haven't been able to find one that allows me to identify some kind of unit confusion.
the metadata says it is an EASE_ML grid, which can be read about here, and the projection i am assigning can be found at spatialreference.org. I have considered that the projection needs to be amended to reflect the unit preference, but haven't been able to make a meaningful change on my own. Any help would be great!
Aside: Please forgive my small number of sources. The prohibitive reputation system prevents me from including more than two hyperlinks. I have also been unable to appropriately tag this question.
