I am using TRMM satellite 3 hourly rainfall data for my research. This data is in .HDF formate while I am opening in grads it gives following error.
For reference I am attaching one sample file so you will be able to see the problem.
What to do?
ga-> sdfopen 3B42.980101.12.6.HDF
Scanning self-describing file: 3B42.980101.12.6.HDF
SDF file has no discernable X coordinate.
Is HDF formate is comfertable to use in fotran programming.
I mean isthis formate data can be manipulated with simple tools available in linux or there is somesoftwares which is must for handling HDF Data.
