I found the projection on the GRUMP FAQ page[0]. Turns out they don't use a projection: *Projection: None, the data is in Geographic (latitude/longitude)* and so the resulting map is similar to the Mercator. I wonder how easy it is to map lat/long co-ordinates into different projections - would be a cool option to have on all similar maps.
