[ncl-talk] hdf confusion

Thanks.  I tried the following and only end up with a 2d grid of values like 2066, 18709, etc.

How can I retrieve slot [11-13] land/water flag with values like 000, 001, 010, etc?

Michael


aa=addfile("h10v04_yellowstone/MOD13Q1.A2012001.h10v04.006.2015236172021.hdf.hdfeos","r")

lat2d=doubletofloat(aa->GridLat_MODIS_Grid_16DAY_250m_500m_VI(::-1,:))

lon2d=doubletofloat(aa->GridLon_MODIS_Grid_16DAY_250m_500m_VI(::-1,:))

lat2d!0="nlat"

lat2d!1="nlon"

lon2d!0="nlat"

lon2d!1="nlon"

land=short2flt_hdf(aa->250m_16_days_VI_Quality_MODIS_Grid_16DAY_250m_500m_VI)

print(land)

Sorry for the ignorant question but I am having trouble figuring out

how to properly retrieve the land-lake-ocean mask off this MODIS hdf file.

If I ncl_filedump *hdf, it shows the variable as ushort.  If I ncl_filedump *hdf.hdfeos,

it shows the variable as short.  Which should I use in addfile and how do I

retrieve the values of 001=land, 000=ocean, etc?

Michael
