A huge number of ingest site data repositories for Earth-orbiting data sensors store and publish their data in HDF file format. The HDF Group – a spinoff from the UIUC-NCSA – supports users of HDF datasets, including users of the NASA EOS. The HDF Group EOS support effort includes a large, on-line catalog of examples of accessing, processing, analyzing and visualizing the NASA EOS data files using the popularly used tools among Earth and Atmospheric scientists: NCL, IDL and MATLAB – absent Mathematica.
The attached Mathematica notebooks are attempts to replicate the HDF Group’s hosted EOS examples in a similar style using Mathematica.
