ok.To write the descriptor file, you will need to use ncdump for hdf to know the structure of your data. I've attached a descriptor file and an hdf file as an example.<br>Hope it helps<br><br>Moctar<br><br><b><i>Jayakrishnan PR <

Dear All,<br> I am now working in MODIS satellite data. The data is in HDF-SDS<br>format. I want to plot the data using grads, directly. Now I cannot plot the<br>data using gradshdf. I dont know the reason. I converted that data into
<br>ascii and then I converted it into staion data, and using station grads I<br>have plotted the data. Now I can plot the colored map of each satellite pass<br>using station data.<br> I am working in Linux platform ( ubuntu
6.1
version) with grads 1.9b4.<br><br><br> Now my question is that can I plot the same data which is in hdf<br>format, directly in gradshdf..?. I have tried it but it dont worked. If it<br>is possible it will be a great thing for me because I can skip converting
<br>into ascii, and then station format and plotting. I have heard the COARDS<br>convention for hdf data..? Is MODIS data following COARDS convention..?<br> Any help is much appreciated....!!!!<br> looking forward
