[ferret_users] Read HDF files

[Brockmann Patrick <Patrick.Brockmann@xxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I would like to read HDF files.
From documentation, I read that
Beginning with Ferret v6.6, Ferret can read HDF-5 formatted files, and 
can write files with HDF compression and chunking.


I have tried from
a "MODIS/Aqua Calibrated Radiances 1km 5-Min 1B Narrow Swath Subset 
along CloudSat"
ftp://atrain.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/s4pa//MAC/MAC021S0.002//2006/166/MAC021S0.A2006166.2355.002.2007103225542.hdf

ferret
yes? use MAC021S0.A2006166.2355.002.2007103225542.hdf
**netCDF error
            Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF 
was built. (OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code -128)
            Data set: ./MAC021S0.A2006166.2355.002.2007103225542.hdf
yes? show sym ferret*
FERRET_VERSION = "6.67"
FERRET_PLATFORM = "Linux rh5 (gfortran) 2.6.18-238.1.1.el5P"
FERRET_MEMORY = "25.6"
yes? show sym net*
NETCDF_VERSION = "4.1.1 of Sep 16 2010 10:42:11 $"
