We summarize current development and maintenence status of HDF-EOS and associated tools. A new browser, an HDF-EOS plugin for the NCSA-developed tool, HDFView, is now available. The plugin offers browse capability for both HDF4 and HDF5 - based files. HDFView can also process vanilla HDF4 and HDF5 files. Functions including shuffling and szip compression have been added.
The HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF (HEG) conversion tool has been augmented to include new projections, other analysis features and support for additional MODIS and ASTER products. Subsetting features have also been augmented. A port to Mac OS X version will be available in October. The tool is available in both stand-alone and EOS DAAC online versions.
