Accessibility and usability of NPP/NPOESS data in HDF5 can be enhanced by providing tools that simplify and standardize how data is accessed and presented. In this project, The HDF Group is creating such tools in the form of software to read and write certain key data types and data aggregates used in NPP/NPOESS data products, and extending HDFView to extract, present and export these data effectively. In particular, the work will focus on NPP/NPOESS use of HDF5 region references and quality flags. The HDF Group will also provide high quality user support for the project.
