I investigated this issue deeply, here you have the results. The CRS of the geotiff is as follows:
PROJCS["unnamed", GEOGCS["WGS 84", DATUM["WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235630016, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]], AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433], AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]], PROJECTION["Equirectangular"], PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0], PARAMETER["central_meridian",0], PARAMETER["false_easting",0], PARAMETER["false_northing",0], UNIT["metre",1, AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]]] All the problems are geotools related. In the right order: 1> GeoTools implements the Equirectangular projection as an Alias of the EquidistantCylindrical or better of the PlateCarre projection (which is in turn an alias for EquidistantCylindrical where code standard_parallel_1 is 0°. First problem is that GeoTools implementations always expect standard_parallel_1 instead of latitude_of_origin as reported by the unofficial list of projections here: http://remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/equirectangular.html Now, Martin, how would you behave here? Would simply change the parameter name from latitude_of_origin to standard_parallel_1 when creating the parameters for the transform? Should we use an alias? Note that this impact greatly the way I load and initialize the parameters inside the geotiff plugin. 2>GeoTools referencing package do not implement elliptical EquidistantCylindrical projections hence even if problem 1 did not exist we would not be able to support this geotiff yet. Conclusion. The problem could be fixed pretty easily. I am waiting for some directions from Martin for 1 while I am going to open a Jira task for 2 and fix it myself next days.
