Thanks David,

I knew the data provider using ENVI to do the projection, so I checked the ENVI Projection Number on the website. http://geol.hu/data/online_help/Map_Projections.html

The 36 represent Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (sphere).

Thanks for your help.

Olivia

It is the number associated with a particular map projection. Look in
the file map_proj.txt, found somewhere in the ENVI distribution, for a
translation.

Cheers,

David
