MODIS-Sphere to WGS84 coordinate system in ArcGIS



I want to overlay two global raster datasets on land use which use different coordinate systems (MODIS-Sphere & WGS84) using ArcGIS Desktop. There seems to be no direct transformation option from MODIS-Sphere to WGS84. It seems to me that I would have to use a custom transformation. However, for that I would need some sort of transformations dialogue/script which I don't have. Or am I missing something?!



Does anyone have any idea on which steps to take?


The dataset I want to transform is http://urban.yale.edu/sites/default/files/data/setoguneralphutyra_uf.zip


Format: ESRI GRID Projection: Goode's Homolosine Equal-Area Projection Geographic Coordinate System: MODIS-Sphere


I want to transform this dataset so that it matches the other one (which uses GCS_WGS_1984 as spatial reference and D_WGS_1984 as datum)
