Abstract

At http:hdfeos.orgzoo, we have a large collection of Python examples of dealing with NASA HDF (Hierarchical Data Format) products. During this hands-on Python tutorial session, we'll present a few common hacks to access and visualize local NASA HDF data. We'll also cover how to access remote data served by OPeNDAP (Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol). As a glue language, we will demonstrate how you can use Python for your data workflow - from searching data to analyzing data with machine learning.

Data are from Mars, Tools are from Venus

Although during the data production phase, the data producers will usually ensure the products to be easily used by the specific power users the products serve. However, most data products are also posted for general public to use. It is not straightforward for data producers to anticipate what tools that these general end-data users are likely to use. In this talk, we will try to help fill in the gap by going over various tools related to Earth Science and how they work with the existing NASA HDF (Hierarchical Data Format) data products and the reasons why some products cannot be visualized or analyzed by existing tools. One goal is for to give insights for data producers on how to make their data product more interoperable. On the other hand, we also provide some hints for end users on how to make tools work with existing HDF data products. (tool category list: check the comments) HDF-EOS tools: HDFView HDF-EOS Plugin, HEG, h4tonccf, hdf-eos2 dumper, NCL, MATLAB, IDL, etc.net; CDF-Java tools: Panoply, IDV, toosUI, NcML, etc.net; CDF-C tools: ArcGIS Desktop, GrADS, NCL, NCO, etc.; GDAL tools: ArcGIS Desktop, QGIS, Google Earth, etc.; CSV tools: ArcGIS Online, MS Excel, Tableau, etc.
