Hi,

i have .h5 data and i am struggling to open the data in linux

The file you posted seems to be ok, it can be displayed with
e.g. 'h5dump' on Linux without any problems.

And it is not convert into nc format and even it is not open in grads

is there any option to open it in linux or any other script to convert .h5
to hdf4 version
please help me to open in linux or any other way to do
herewith i am attaching the file also

I'm not sure but my suspicion is that the data in the file are
not in a format thar can be read with the tools you were using.
In that case it isn't a HDF issue because HDF allows to write
files in more or less arbitrary formats - HDF just takes care
of the overall structure (similar to a file system were you can
have files in a hierarchy of directories, symbolic links etc.).
The tools you were using rather likely require a certain struc-
ture in the HDF file (like programs working on a file system
may expect certain files in certain directories) which isn't
the one of the file you've got here. Converting it to the re-
quired format isn't something that can be done with HDF tools
alone, you'd have to know the exact format of the file you've
got and the format of the files that can be read by your tools
(assuming that all information needed is present in the file
you have) and then use (or write if there isn't one) a conver-
sion program.

So I guess you're best bet is to go to a forum for the tools
you have (nc or grads) and ask there (again appending the file,
perhaps adding some information were you got it from to help
identify the format) since people there are more likely to
have been confronted with similar problems like yours before.
Alternatively, you might get help from the people that created
the file, according to the contents in the file it is from the
"National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) GOSAT
Project Office" in Japan and they give a support email address:

gosat-support@nies.go.jp
