TES Science Data Software Tools

TES data users need software tools to get access to the data products. Since all Aura standard data products are in HDF (Hierarchical Data Format) 5 EOS format, users need to be familiar with this data format. Below is a list of websites that provide information about HDF-EOS 5, software support, and data browsing.

• The NCSA (The National Center for Supercomputing Applications) HDF Home Page . The HDF project at NCSA with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign develops the HDF file formats and their supporting softwares for scientific data management.

• NASA's HDF-EOS Tools and Information Center provides more information about the use of HDF formats for the EOS projects.

• The popular IDL (Interactive Data Language) developed by the Research Systems, Inc. (RSI) based in Boulder, Colorado can be used to access and manipulate HDF-EOS 5 files.

• TES L2 Read Software provided by the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC).

• TES L1B Read Software provided by the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC).
