Summary of HDF-EOS5 Files, Data Model and File Format

HDF-EOS is a software library designed to support NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) science data. HDF is the Hierarchical Data Format developed by The HDF Group. Specific data structures in HDF-EOS5 which are containers for science data are: Grid, Point, Zonal Average and Swath. These data structures are constructed from standard HDF5 data objects, using EOS conventions, through the use of a software library. This presentation is intended to familiarize current HDF-EOS users with the structure of HDF-EOS5 files and the Grid, Swath, Point and Zonal Average structures used in these files.
