Data Format
DMR data are categorized by campaigns and dates. The data are processed into levels. Level 0 files are text files directly from the receiver. Due to poor coding and management, there are many versions of these files from the many versions of the receiver. Therefore, processing from level 0 to 1A puts all of these data into a generic format that is the same no matter what receiver software version was flying. Levels above "0" are output in HDF format. HDF contain metadata in the form of "attributes" which describe the data seta and variables. The variables also contain attributes to self-describe the individual data pieces.
HDF files can be opened natively in Matlab, IDL, or other HDF viewers. For an example code to open an HDF SD (multiple scientific data set) file in Matlab and return a structure see hdfsd2struct.m and a helpful unzipping function, gunzip_file.m
For local data access and account configuration (useful Matlab functions),see this local info page.
