the first step should be explain thsi type of format: HDF5 --- Hierarchical Data Format Release 5 (HDF5) This driver intended for HDF5 file formats importing. This modification is suited for use with remote sensing data and fully compatible with underlying HDF5. This driver can import HDF5-EOS files. Currently EOS use HDF5 for data storing (telemetry form `Aura' satellites). In the future they will switch to HDF5 format, which will be used for telemetry from `Aura' satellite. Multiple Image Handling (Subdatasets) Hierarchical Data Format is a container for several different datasets. For data storing. HDF contains multidimensional arrays filled by data. One HDF file may contain several arrays. They may differ in size, number of dimensions. The first step is to get a report of the components images (arrays) in the file using gdalinfo, and then to import the desired images using gdal_translate. The gdalinfo utility lists all multidimensional subdatasets from the input HDF file. The name of individual images (subdatasets) are assigned to the SUBDATASET_n_NAME metadata item. The description for each image is found in the SUBDATASET_n_DESC metadata item. For HDF5 images the subdataset names will be formatted like this: HDF5:file_name:subdataset where: file_name is the name of the input file, and subdataset is the dataset name of the array to use (for internal use in GDAL). On the second step you should provide this name for gdalinfo or gdal_translate for actual reading of the data. For example, we want to read data from the OMI/Aura Ozone (O3) dataset: $ gdalinfo OMI-Aura_L2-OMTO3_2005m0326t2307-o03709_v002-2005m0428t201311.he5 Driver: HDF5/Hierarchical Data Format Release 5

Note that you should provide exactly the contents of the line marked SUBDATASET_n_NAME to GDAL, including the HDF5: prefix. This driver is intended only for importing remote sensing and geospatial datasets in form of raster images(2D or 3D arrays). If you want explore all data contained in HDF file you should use another tools (you can find information about different HDF tools using links at end of this page). Georeference There is no universal way of storing georeferencing in HDF files. However, some product types have mechanisms for saving georeferencing, and some of these are supported by GDAL. Currently supported are (subdataset_type shown in parenthesis): HDF5 OMI/Aura Ozone (O3) Total Column 1-Orbit L2 Swath 13x24km (Level-2 OMTO3) Metadata No Metadata are read at this time from the HDF5 files. Driver building This driver builded on top of NCSA HDF5 library, so you need to dowload prebuild HDF5 librariesI HDF5-1.6.4 library or higher. You also need zlib 1.2 and szlib 2.0. For windows user be sure to set the attributes writable (especialy if you are using cygwin) and that the DLLs can be located somewhere by your PATH environment variable. You may also download source code NCSA HDF Home Page (see links below). See Also: Implemented as gdal/frmts/hdf5/hdf5dataset.cpp and gdal/frmts/hdf5/hdf5imagedataset.cpp. The NCSA HDF5 Dowload Page at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications The HDFView is a visual tool for browsing and editing NCSA HDF4 and HDF5 files. Documentation to individual products, supported by this driver: Aura OMI Total Ozone Data Product-OMTO3 the next step is see what soft can read this type of format ...i seek and Global mapper can read this type of data...make the test for export in another format.
