[gradsusr] opening modis hdf files

[Sagar P Parajuli]

Hi,
I was able to open modis hdf file (MYD08_D3) using xdfopen with following
script:
dset ^./MYD08_D3.A2003121.005.2007081003101.hdf
xdef XDim:mod08 360 linear -180.0 1.0
ydef YDim:mod08 180 linear -90.0 1.0
However, when I see the variables using ctlinfo, it shows more than one
variables with the same variable name. For example, in the below lines, all
three variables have same variable name deep_blue_aeros.

Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_550_Land_Mean=>deep_blue_aeros  0  y,x
Deep blue aerosol optical depth at 0.55 microns for land (corrected): Mean
Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_550_Land_Standard_Deviation=>deep_blue_aeros
0  y,x  Deep blue aerosol optical depth at 0.55 microns for land
(corrected): Standard Deviation
Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_550_Land_Minimum=>deep_blue_aeros  0  y,x
Deep blue aerosol optical depth at 0.55 microns for land (corrected):
Minimum

When I display the variable using d deep_blue_aeros, it doesn't show
realistic image. I don't know which variable out of three is being
displayed. Could anyone help on this?
