HDF-EOS Maintenance and Development, Current Status and Tools

Abe Taaheri, Cid Praderas, and Larry Klein

We will summarize current status of HDF-EOS and associated tools. Update on HDF-EOS, HDFView plug-in and The HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF (HEG) conversion tool, including recent changes to the software, ongoing maintenance, upcoming releases, future plans, and issues will be discussed.

We will also summarize the status of HDF-EOS RFC. The HDF-EOS plug-in for the THG-developed tool, HDFView, has been enhanced. The plug-in offers browse capability for both HDF4 and HDF5 - based HDF-EOS files. HDFView can also process vanilla HDF4 and HDF5 files. New features including support for Point and Zonal Average objects have been added. A port to Mac OS X version will be available in next release.

The HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF (HEG) conversion tool has been augmented to include new projections, and support for additional AMSR-E and AIRS products. Subsetting features have also been augmented. The tool is available in both stand-alone and EOS DAAC online versions.
