Re: [Cdat-discussion] HDF data in cdat

[Alexis Z. <az...@ga...>]

Adrian,

I've no experience w/ HDF in cdat, but I've been recently dealing w/ some 
HDF-EOS/HDF5 data outside of cdat. I've been using PyTables, which 
seems quite powerful:
http://pytables.sourceforge.net/html/WelcomePage.html

If the data is in a regular grid, then you could easily extract the data 
into an array and then create a new variable w/ cdat.

Best,
Alexis
