Re: Application examples: HDF files

G'day

I created those examples. I'll try to find the files.
I have quite a few HDF4 and HDF4-EOS files.
Offline, I will send you an ftp address where I will place
a suite of HDF files.

This file is not on your web site but there is a similar-looking file MOD05_L2.A2002161.1830.004.2003221153410.hdf. I had to modify some of the NCL script to read it but the script seems to ‘hang’ at the step: map = gsn_csm_contour_map(wks, cmfov, res) ; map – there is no error message; after a few minutes I pressed Ctrl-C to abort. I have attached the modified script. Note: I am not a ‘proper’ NCL user at this stage although I do make much use of NCAR Graphics! The main change (apart from the HDF filename) is:
