This document describes the OBPG_MODIST data files. This document is sub-divided into three sections: OBPG_MODIST level 1, OBPG_MODIST level 2 and OBPG_MODIST level 3 respectively. All the files are pure HDF4 files.
The following table summarizes the information collected for all the files:
| File type | File size(avg.) | Datafield Dim. Range | CF-compliant information | Other special issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HDF4 | 200MB | 2D, 3D | All the data fields do not have 'units' and 'long_name' attribute. | Additional knowledge is required to obtain latitude and longitude values |
The following table summarizes the information collected for all the files:
| File type | File size(avg.) | Datafield Dim. Range | CF-compliant information | Other special issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HDF4 | 21MB | 2D | 1. All the data fields or geo fields have ‘units’ and ‘long_name’ attribute. Data fields also have ‘slope’ and ‘intercept’ attribute; 2. There are fill values inside the data but there is neither a 'Fill_Value' attribute nor a 'missing value' attribute | Interpolation is needed to calculate latitude or longitude |
