Version 1.6.0 of the NetCDF Expansion Pack (NEP) includes CF attributes for
GeoTIFF files. (Get it here:
https://github.com/Intelligent-Data-Design-Inc/NEP)
For example, with the expansion pack, I can do the following ncdump of a
GeoTIFF file:
ncdump -h test/data/MCDWD_L3_F1C_NRT.A2025353.h00v02.061.tif
netcdf MCDWD_L3_F1C_NRT.A2025353.h00v02.061 {
dimensions:
x = 4800 ;
y = 4800 ;
bnds = 2 ;
variables:
ubyte data(y, x) ;
data :grid_mapping = "crs" ;
data :coordinates = "lon lat" ;
int crs ;
crs:grid_mapping_name = "latitude_longitude" ;
crs:semi_major_axis = 6378206.4 ;
crs:inverse_flattening = 294.978698213898 ;
crs:longitude_of_prime_meridian = 0. ;
double lon(x) ;
lon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
lon:axis = "X" ;
lon:bounds = "lon_bnds" ;
double lat(y) ;

lat:bounds = "lat_bnds" ;
double lon_bnds(x, bnds) ;
double lat_bnds(y, bnds) ;
