Using visualization tools to access HDF data via OPeNDAP Joe Lee and Kent Yang The HDF Group The 13th HDF and HDF-EOS Workshop November 3-5, 2009 HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
HDF-OPeNDAP Tutorial Outline • Why OPeNDAP? • OPeNDAP Client Tools • Visualization and Analysis • OPeNDAP Servers • Viewing Data with Panoply HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Why So Difficult? • Getting and Listening to MP3 song • Yesterday - Beatles • Getting and Viewing HDF-EOS dataset • Yesterday’s Ozone - OMI HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Mirador – Data Access Made Simple HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Access HDF via FTP/HTTP All I want is x-region data but data is missing. Aura Users All I want is adataset, not the entire file. Tool (IDL) OMI FTP FTP / HTTP Clients FTP / HTTP Servers HDF Files Local HDF Files HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Why MP3? Why OPeNDAP? • MP3 over CD • Pick one song, not album (Quick) • Listen now and Buy later (Right) • OPeNDAP over FTP/HTTP • Pick one dataset, not file (Quick) • View now and Download later (Right) • Benefit: Save Time and Resource! HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
