Why can I display my downloaded geotiff in Imagine?
The dataserver uses ARCMAP software to serve the data on the seamless site. Several things need to be modified in order to correctly use the dataset in Imagine. First, if you want to directly view the dataset as a geotiff, open the file as grayscale and not a pseudocolor. Next, it is recommended to import the file directly into Imagine before viewing to avoid other problems. After import, projection information is sometimes incomplete. Typically correct information must be entered using “image information” for the image, then edit, then change map model. Select meters for units, and Albers conical equal area for the projection information, go to edit, add/change projection, and click on the custom tab. Standard MLRC projection for the continental U.S. is Projection type: Albers conical equal area Spheroid name: GRS 1980 Datum name: NAD83 Latitude of 1st parallel: 29:30:00 N Latitude of 2nd parallel: 45:30:00 N Longitude of central meridian: 96:00:00 W Latitude of origin of projection 2
