What tools are available for MODIS snow and sea ice products?
The free, standalone HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF (HEG) converter (available from the HDF-EOS Tools and Information Center) allows you to geolocate, subset, stitch, and regrid some MODIS/Terra products, as shown in the table below. A future release of the HEG converter will geolocate other MODIS snow and sea ice products, including those from Aqua. If MODIS products are accessed via the Data Pool, the HEG converter is automatically used to perform these operations. Users also have the option to subset products (as shown in the table below) via the WIST, using the HEW Subsetting Appliance (HSA). Data may be subsetted with the HSA by geographic region using a latitude and longitude bounding box and by desired parameters.
