I recently downloaded Geo Tiff data from GEBCO. I converted the data to XYZ file, but I found out the XYZ data didn’t align with the exact coordinates on MIKE 21. Is there any reason as to why this is the case? Are the coordinate systems of the two platforms different or what?
Please, I’m confused.
Please ensure that when using the Mesh Generator in mike zero, you set the geographic location system to lat/long mode. This is important because the GEBCO data obtained from https://download.gebco.net/ is in Geo Tiff format and follows the lat/long WGS 84 format. Additionally, make sure to correctly order the x and y coordinates in the xyz file, representing longitude and latitude respectively. If the order is incorrect, simply adjust it accordingly.
For instance, here is the proper format for the xyz file:
x, y, z
25.265555, 62.55552, -10
25.275555, 62.55552, -12
25.285555, 62.55552, -18
25.295555, 62.55552, -19
If required, please forward the Geo Tiff file for conversion to xyz format.
