          This method is used to automatically lookup the spatial reference ID of the GSSHA project. This method is a
          wrapper for the ProjectionFile class method lookupSpatialReferenceID(). It requires an internet connection
          (the lookup uses a web service) and the projection file to be present and the appropriate card in the project
          file pointing to the projection file (#PROJECTION_FILE). If the process fails, it defaults to SRID 4326 which is
          the id for WGS 84.
