Regarding Vincent Thierion's posting on January 22 requesting help witha netCDF dataset using a Lambert Conformal Conic grid, we have determined
that the problem was in the grid's values for the false_easting and false_northing, which were off by a factor of 1000. Because Panoply implements the pertinent projection calculations rather than do a simplex-y plot, the data were consequently being shifted all the way off the map.
