Introduction

• NASA Langley Research Center has developed the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument to study the Earth’s climate and environment

• The CERES Data Management System has been developed to generate science data products from the instrument measurements

• This system is now operational at the Atmospheric Sciences Data Center (DAAC) producing archival data sets written in Hierarchical Data Format (HDF)

• A visualization and analysis tool, view_hdf, has been written in Research Systems’ Interactive Data Language (IDL) to access data from HDF products

view_hdf overview

• Consists of IDL routines and a C shared library, with a graphical user interface (GUI) to manipulate the data

• Developed on a Unix platform; built and tested on Solaris, Irix, HP-UX, and DEC/Compaq Alpha operating systems

• Currently being tested on PC platforms

• An IDL-only version is under development that eliminates the C shared library, making view_hdf portable to any system which can run IDL

• Developed for the CERES project but useful with other data sets written in HDF and HDF-EOS

Capabilities of view_hdf

• Select and subset variables from either Science Data Sets (SDS) or vdata structures

• Render both two- and three-dimensional graphics

• Plot geolocated data onto various world map projections

• Plot multiple variables

• Perform simple arithmetic operations on two variables

• Compute statistics

• Create subsets of data based on the value of another criterion variable

• Perform curve fitting and regression

• Create histograms

Capabilites of view_hdf

• Display data values to the screen

• Export data to a file in ASCII or HDF formats

• Save plots in PostScript or GIF format

• Send plots directly to a printer

• Execute a user-defined IDL procedure
