Data: Add UKV > WGS1984 example

edmundhenley commented 4 years ago

Hi all (@tam203 @DPeterK, @kaedonkers, @maria-a62 ... - do please let me know if there's a different, preferred way to contact you re proto-ideas, e.g. email!)

Have seen the request (on internal MO Yammer thread) for an example (well, perhaps actual implementation!) of WGS1984 conversion of UKV data. And crucially some example code on there!

I've not done this myself before, but happy to have a crack at this cribbing off that example code. Do let me know:

if not needed, e.g. if someone else already has this in hand (can't see anything obvious from Project board titles, but haven't dug in detail - also am maybe looking in wrong place!)
if this the right place to do this?

Thanks! Edmund

@edmundhenley great to have you on board. I've CCed you into a email with David. Please take it from there. Cheers.

The original request was UKV to OSGB, but the requester identified WGS1984 as an intermediary because they are working with ArcGIS.

Pete just put this in a Gist (Met Office Global data to OSGB) https://gist.github.com/DPeterK/c5061f336a91a3ce9790c206a5459b4a

And I summed it up for UKV to OSGB here: https://gist.github.com/kaedonkers/439085b58a94c649de9dfc0b114ca026

@edmundhenley If you would like to create a WGS1984 example then please go ahead, I'm sure it will be useful as well :)
