NetCDF Presentation at HDF5 Workshop
29 September 2010
This week I am attending the HDF5 workshop in Champaign, Illinois. I
am learning a lot of interesting things about HDF5, and I gave a
presentation on netCDF, which is now available on the netCDF web site
for those that are interested:
Hartnett, E., 2010-09: NetCDF and HDF5 - HDF5 Workshop 2010.
It's great to see the HDF5 team again!

NPP Data and HDF5 Reference Type
29 September 2010
The NPP satellite mission
is to produce data in HDF5. There is great interest in seeing these
data through the netCDF API, so that netCDF tools can work with NPP
data.
At the HDF5 workshop this week I have been given a sample file by Elena which is like the NPP files we will eventually see.
NetCDF can read HDF5 files as long as they follow certain rules, but
the NPP files doesn't all those rules. In particular, they use the
reference type, currently no handled by netCDF. My plan is to have
netCDF not give up when it runs into a reference object.
