the new hdf-eos website - how it can help you
DESCRIPTION
The HDF Group is in the process of updating HDF-EOS web site. During the workshop, we would like to share with audiences some useful information in the new website that can help users to have easy access of NASA HDF and HDF-EOS data. The presentation includes three parts: EOS User Forum: will introduce the EOS user forum and how users can benefit from this forum. Tools: will present information on how to use several widely-used tools to access NASA HDF and HDF-EOS data. Examples: will present several examples on how to use C, Fortran and IDL to access NASA HDF and HDF-EOS data.TRANSCRIPT
