  7. SDP Toolkit • Science Data Production (SDP) Toolkit is a collection of tools used by - Science software developers who produce code to process instrument data. - HDF-EOS userswho need to • Access metadata in HDF-EOS files • Perform Time/Date conversion • Access Digital Elevation Model Data • Access Ancillary Data, such as Digital Chart of the World database (DCW), Olson World Ecosystem files, DEM data files, etc.

  8. SDP Toolkit (cont.) • Tools provided in (SDP, MTD) Toolkit: - AA (Ancillary Data Access) - CBP (CELESTIAL Body Position) - CSC (Coordinate System Conversion) - CUC (Constant and Unit Conversions) - DEM (Digital Elevation Model Access) - EPH (Ephemeris Data Access) - GCT (Geo Coordinate Transformation) - IO (Input Output (File I/O)) - MEM (Memory Management) - MET (Metadata Access) - PC (Process Control) - SMF (Status Message File (Error/Status)) - TD (Time and Date Conversion)

  9. What is HDF-EOS ? • HDF-EOSis an extension to HDF which standardizes storage of and access to common Earth Sciences data structures • By providing a single interface to data structures common to earth science • By providing a container for EOS inventory, archive and product specific metadata • By establishing a consistent relationship between geolocation and science data.

  10. HDF-EOS 2 • HDF4 - based, storage format for EOS standard products. • Used operationally by MODIS, MISR, ASTER, Landsat, AIRS and other EOS instruments • Support for Grid/Point/Swath structures • HDF4 and HDF-EOS 2 will be supported by THG/NASA for the fore-seeable future.

  11. HDF-EOS 5 • Based on HDF5, a complete rewrite of HDF-EOS2 with a different user interface. • First released in 2000. • Format used byEOS Aurainstruments • Designed to ‘resemble’ HDF-EOS 2 to the maximum extent possible. • Supports same data structures • Added prefix ‘HE5_’ to HDF-EOS 2 functions.

  12. HDFView • HDFView: A Java-based browser from THG for HDF4 and HDF5 – based data. • HDF-EOS plug-in extends HDFView to browse HDF-EOS data in both versions. • The extension is a plug-in module and does not change THG HDFView functionality. All copy, save, editing, image display, etc. for HDF4 and 5 objects remains. • Identical look and feel when displaying HDF and HDF-EOS objects. • Users can access a complete breakdown of HDF-EOS objects. e.g. grid information, projection info., dimensions, datafields, and attributes are displayed.  • Current Support: SUN, SGI, LINUX, Mac, WINDOWS platforms

  13. Swath, Grid, and Point Objects

  14. AMSR-E and OMI Point objects

  15. AMSR-E Swath New Features in Next Release Version 2.4

  16. HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF Converter (HEG) HEG: Utility that converts EOSDIS data from HDF-EOS format to common Geographical Information System (GIS)-compatible formats. • Two versions available: • A downloadable desktop version • Access through NASA archive online storage (Data Pools) • Implemented also in prototypes for Stand-alone Data Pool, OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) for Web Services Chaining, and DOWS (Deploy OGC Web Services) on the DAACs

  17. HEG Functionality • Conversion: • HDF-EOS (Swath or Grid ) to a single-band or multi-band GeoTIFF’s • HDF-EOS Swath toHDF-EOS GridandSwath • HDF-EOS Swath or Grid to generic Binary (with metadata file) • Subsetting (spatial, field, band) • Stitching (mosaicing) + subsetting + Reprojecting • Reprojection ( to UTM, PS, TM, STP, LCC, LAMAZ, GEO, SIN, Albers) • Subsampling (Subsample stacks) • Running from Command Line (batch jobs) or with Java-based GUI

  18. HEG Functionality • Metadata preservation/creation. • Currently supports MODIS, MISR, ASTER, AIRS and AMSR-E products on TERRA and AQUA (>110 products), • Allows file selection from users local storage • Operable on Sun, SGI, Win, Linux, MAC • Integrated into ECS Data Pool • Reduces the transfer time of HDF-EOS data sets (if subset is requested) • Provides the end-user with the exact file required by their application • User Interface • Portable, written in Java. • Not dependent on COTS (eg. IDL).
