<br>
I'm struggling to find a way to convert NOAA AVHRR SST netcdf file into <br>
a georeferenced GTiff file, like:<br>
<br>

<br>
My standard goto too is normally GDAL but it does not handle files like <br>
this where every pixel has its own lat/lon. I seems like you need to <br>
convert the irregular points into a gridded x-y array in some projection <br>
then write that out to a gtiff, but I'm lost on how to do this.<br>
<br>
I have only used Grads once before to convert a grads script into a <br>
gradspy script to extract date that had been getting plotted to a data <br>
array.<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
