GDAL warp Too many points failed to transform. It works with similar image and source

I am trying to convert a netCDF file from GOES Full disk to geotiff but have an error on last step.

Apparently the process of generating the tif from NC works and fulldisk.tif is generated but not georeferenced and I need it to overlay in a leaflet map.

gdal_translate -ot float32 -unscale -CO COMPRESS=deflate NETCDF:"fulldisk.nc":CMI fulldisk.tif
Input file size is 2500, 1500
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

The tiff can be downloaded here: https://nube1.on.gt/fulldisk.tif

But when trying to reproject for Lat,Lon with the following process:

gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 -dstnodata -999.0 fulldisk.tif /var/www/nube1.on.gt/fulldisk_geo.tif

it says the following:

Processing fulldisk.tif [1/1] : 0Using internal nodata values (e.g. -1) for image fulldisk_geo.tif.
ERROR 1: Too many points (529 out of 529) failed to transform, unable to compute output bounds.
Warning 1: Unable to compute source region for output window 0,0,2500,1500, skipping.
...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

The NC file is a GOES-16 you can download from AWS and the gdalinfo output is this:

I tested the same process with another image that is not fulldisk from the same site and it works as expected, https://nube1.on.gt/conus_geo.tif. I need the are of Central America and the Caribbean that is in the fulldisk domain.

Thank you for any guidance.

Solution

  • Just replaced

    -dstnodata -999.0

    with

    -dstnodata -999

    forcing the destination no data value to be integer, and got

    gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 -dstnodata -999 fulldisk.tif fulldisk_geo.tif
Processing input file fulldisk.tif.
Using internal nodata values (e.g. -1) for image fulldisk.tif.
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

    with no errors and a resulting 168.1 MiB file.
