Hi Perdinan,
No, but a very similar fix will solve the problem:
ncatted -a false_easting,polar_stereographic,o,d,4700000 filename.nc
ncatted -a false_northing,polar_stereographic,o,d,8400000 filename.nc
BTW, this is one of many small metadata cleanups we have on our to-do list. It
doesn't take that long to do each one, but if we change a file on ESG, it
requires a significant amount of work to get it republished. So we've been
working on the collection of fixes in such a way that we can do one big update
all at once when they're all done. Apologies to all for the resulting
inconvenience...
Cheers,
--Seth
