Re: [ferret_users] How to fix error in reading hdf data?



Hi Ansley,

I used this other link (seems the wrong one) :

http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf-java-html/samples/

Yes, yours works fine. Anyway, I will follow your advice and take a look on the TDS server. I will love to read the modis data (oceancolour) directly into ferret.

Best regards, and thanks!

Hi Antonio,
Which files are you trying? I downloaded some files from www.hdfgroup.org, from the first and second links here,

   http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/hdf5-files.html


and they open successfully with Ferret v6.6 and higher (both our 64-bit and 32-bit executables)
        NOAA/PMEL TMAP
        FERRET v6.64 
        Linux rh5 (gfortran) 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 - 09/09/10
        24-Nov-10 09:48    

yes? use h5ex_d_compact.h5
yes? show data
     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./h5ex_d_compact.h5  (default)

For hdf4 files, there is a possible roundabout solution which is to install a TDS server, put your files there, and then ferret could read them via their thredds URL.  This is something I have done, and it's not too difficult.  The software and instructions are here,

Hi,

I've found very frustrating the task of reading a hdf file in ferret (v6.64). I've tried with samples from the hdfgroupc but with any of them I get the same message:


**netCDF error
             Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built. (OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code -128)


or with other type of data (i.e: oceancolour datasets: modis aqua)

I get:

**netCDF error
             Can't open HDF5 attribute (OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code -107)

In this last case I know that they are hdf4 so I do not complain ;-) (I tried to convert to hdf5 with h4toh5 tools, but no way)  The point is that the first examples above (hdfgroup) are hdf5 files

Do you know any hdf data source readable by ferret? Just to make a couple of tests

Best regards!

hi-
Well, Ferret was built with a NetCDF library that we built ourselves specifically with HDF reading enabled, and have passed the tests that are part of the process of building those libraries. But we have not had a variety of files to test with. The library reads HDF-5 files and not HDF-4. Yogesh and Shaji, do you know what version of HDF was used to write the files you are trying to use?

Hi Ansley,

I am also getting similar error as below Shaji gets. I am using ferret v6.64 on linux.
I was trying to read hdf CO2 files from AIRS retrievals.

Thanks,

Dear Ansley:

Thanks for your above suggestion. I was in fact using Ferret version 6.2. But after getting your reply, I installed Ferret version 6.6 and tried the same hdf file. Now I get a different error with version 6.6 as follows.

[cshaji@circulation dataver5]$ ferret
       NOAA/PMEL TMAP
       FERRET v6.64
       Linux(gfortran) 2.6.9-89.0.20.ELsmp - 09/16/10
       24-Nov-10 13:14

yes? use "/work/data/sst/dataver5/198501.s04m1pfv50-bsst-16b.hdf"
 **netCDF error
            Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built. (OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code -128)
            Data set: /work/data/sst/dataver5/198501.s04m1pfv50-bsst-16b.hdf

Perhaps this can this be a problem with the hdf data file itself while its creation? If so, any way to fix it?
Please give me a reply.

Best regards,
