Re: How can I read an object of an HDF file

Hi Erik,

The "object" EpochTime that you see in the NCL listing of the HDF
file (before or after conversion to NetCDF) is not directly accessible
through NCL. This file, like most HDF 4 files, has two large multi-
line global string-type attributes, CoreMetadata_0 and
ArchiveMetadata_0.
(Actually the HDF attribute names have a '.' instead of '_' before
the final '0' character, but NCL changes them to be legal NCL
attribute names.)
The text that you see:

OBJECT=EpochTime;
    Value=99:99:99;
    Data_Location=PGE;
    Mandatory=FALSE;
END_OBJECT=EpochTime;

is just a few lines that are a small part of the CoreMetadata_0
attribute. You can read the whole attribute

f = addfile("3B42.060801.0.6.HDF","r")
core = f_at_CoreMetadata_0

and then it would be possible although cumbersome in NCL to find the
"EpochTime" value within this long string using the indStrSubset
function (in "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl")
and some conversions between strings and character arrays. I should
note that improving
the string processing capabilities of NCL is on the to-do list.

However, you can see from the metadata that the value of EpochTime is
not a real value. It is set to 99:99:99.
It looks like the what you are more likely looking for is
RangeEndingTime and RangeEndingDate, which are also "objects" in the
CoreMetadata_0 attribute.
Together they would give a time and date that is close to what is
encoded in the filename.

Now I see that Dennis has suggested what is probably a more practical
way to extract the time for these files based on the filename. He even
provides a function to do it. (See his email and http://
www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/talk_archives/2007/0056.html)

I have tried using tools provided by HDF, such as hdfls and hdp, but
they do not provide any way of accessing the individual "objects"
from the HDF global metadata attributes
either. However, perhaps there are some tools that do provide
individual metadata object access. I would be interested to learn of
them.
