I'm trying to do Azimuthal Equidistant in CF-compliant NetCDF, but I didn't get the correct projection.
If you compare the first two information (gdalinfo) you see there is no `AUTHORITY` and also `PROJCS`, `GEOGCS`, `DATUM`, `SPHEROID` are unknown.

I followed this link to set the set the projection: 

This is the original projection which I want to save it to NetCDF.

    Size is 8000, 8000
   
Coordinate System is:
    PROJCS
["Azimuthal_Equidistant",
        GEOGCS
["WGS 84",
            DATUM
["WGS_1984",
                SPHEROID
["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
                    AUTHORITY
["EPSG","7030"]],
                AUTHORITY
["EPSG","6326"]],
            PRIMEM
["Greenwich",0],
            UNIT
["degree",0.0174532925199433],
            AUTHORITY
["EPSG","4326"]],
        PROJECTION
["Azimuthal_Equidistant"],
        PARAMETER
["latitude_of_center",53],
        PARAMETER
["longitude_of_center",24],
        PARAMETER
["false_easting",5837287.81977],
        PARAMETER
["false_northing",2121415.69617],
        UNIT
["metre",1,
            AUTHORITY
["EPSG","9001"]]]
   
Origin = (4800000.000000000000000,1800000.000000000000000)
   
Pixel Size = (75.000000000000000,-75.000000000000000)





and this is what I got:

 
   Size is 8000, 8000
   
Coordinate System is:
    PROJCS
["unnamed",
        GEOGCS
["unknown",
            DATUM
["unknown",
                SPHEROID
["Spheroid",6378137,298.257223563]],
            PRIMEM
["Greenwich",0],
            UNIT
["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
        PROJECTION
["Azimuthal_Equidistant"],
        PARAMETER
["latitude_of_center",53],
        PARAMETER
["longitude_of_center",24],
        PARAMETER
["false_easting",5837287.81977],
        PARAMETER
["false_northing",2121415.69617]]
   
Origin = (4799602.500000000000000,1800037.500000000000000)
   
Pixel Size = (75.000000000000000,-75.000000000000000)




here is the code that I extracted the projection:

    # Extract Projection info from tiff
    ds
= gdal.Open('sample.tiff')
    prj
= ds.GetProjection()
    srs
= osr.SpatialReference(wkt=prj)
   
   
   
# Create container variable for CRS
    crso
= nco.createVariable('crs', 'i4')
    crso
.grid_mapping_name = 'azimuthal_equidistant'
    crso
.projected_crs_name = srs.GetAttrValue('PROJCS')
    crso
.geographic_crs_name = srs.GetAttrValue('GEOGCS')
    crso
.horizontal_datum_name = srs.GetAttrValue('DATUM')
    crso
.latitude_of_projection_origin = srs.GetProjParm('latitude_of_center')
    crso
.longitude_of_projection_origin = srs.GetProjParm('longitude_of_center')
    crso
.false_easting = srs.GetProjParm('false_easting')
    crso
.false_northing = srs.GetProjParm('false_northing')
    crso
.longitude_of_prime_meridian = 0.0
    crso
.semi_major_axis = 6378137.0
    crso
.inverse_flattening = 298.257223563



Does someone know how to get the correct projection?
