Do you have access to NCL? If so, there is an "ncl_convert2nc"<br>
command-line utility which lists "HDF-EOS 2" as one of the input dataset<br>
formats it recognizes:<br>
<a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Tools/ncl_convert2nc.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Tools/ncl_convert2nc.shtml</a><br>
I haven't used it. Example 6 on the above web site features an HDF file<br>
for input.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think the issue is the format per se (HDF-4 vs NetCDF), but rather that HDF-EOS uses a metadata convention that is not COARDS; if you ignore the HDF-EOS junk (usually in the form of global attributes), it is a bonafide HDF-4 file. With the right DDF you should be able to read this Level 3 dataset (likely on 1x1 lat lon grid), no need to convert it to netcdf. If you have hdf-4 installed, send the result of "ncdump -c filename" where "ncdump" here is the one that comes with HDF-4.</div>

Hope this helps,<br>
