[ncl-talk] Attempting to read output *.hdf or *.nc files

[Herb, Jason]

Hello,

I am attempting a climatology of modis data based on monthly output files. I have montly output netcdf and hdf files from 2002 to 2015. I have tried to single file read (ex the month of Jan 2006 it has only the lat, lon and the monthly averaged aod data "GBIN" ) to display that months average data to make sure the file is being read properly. Unfortunately NCL is not able to read either of the hdf or nc files. I have tried to ncl_filedump on the hdf files and outputs the lat and lon when selected but can not find the GBIN data, however if I run the ncl_filedump on the nc file I can see the full dataset when selected. Any suggestions as to how i can feed this data in to a script so NCL can understand to process.

Thanks,
Jason
