lambert conformal conic projection with only 3 informations?

Hello,
I have a netcdf file that is (as far as I can tell) in lambert conformal
conic projection grid, as I have in ncdump:
char Lambert_conformal ;
Lambert_conformal:grid_mapping_name = "lambert_conformal_conic" ;
Lambert_conformal:longitude_of_central_meridian = "11.5" ;
Lambert_conformal:latitude_of_projection_origin = "50.4" ;
Lambert_conformal:standard_parallel = "11.5" ;
That means 3 informations about the projection.
However at http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/map.html#lambert (or
http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/pdef.html), there are 9
latref reference latitude
lonref reference longitude (in degrees, E is positive, W is negative)
iref i of ref point
jref j of ref point
Struelat S true lat
Ntruelat N true lat
slon standard longitude
dx grid X increment in meters
dy grid Y increment in meters
I can guess that latref and lonref and maybe slon corresponds with
(in random order) longitude_of_central_meridian,
latitude_of_projection_origin and standard_parallel, but what about
the others?
I am completly ignorant on the subject, so I may be completly
missing something.
Any idea on how the other parameters can be computed, if possible?
