Summary

Abstract: The hrepack tool is a command line tool from The HDF Group that copies an input HDF4 file to an output HDF4 file reproducing all the high level objects and optionally rewriting the objects with compression/uncompression and/or chunking. Many Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) files stored at the NSIDC DAAC are internally compressed using hrepack. This includes the MODIS Version 5 (V005) snow and sea ...
