<TITLE>Does MapServe handle HDF files?</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Greetings, let me explain my situation and I would like to get your input and suggestions. <BR>
<BR>
I need to take raw satellite imagery HDF files (from saa.noaa.gov for example) extract the band we need (chlorophyll, sst, etc...) and convert them to tiff files (or geotiff) so they can be used in GIS and Photoshop. Most importantly, we have to transform them to Mercator Cylindrical projection in a WGS 72 datum. Do you have any ideas on the best way to tackle this? I have some ideas, but we do not have the resources here (no UNIX machine or IDL or MATLAB (yet)). We have Windows (PC) and mainly Mac’s.<BR>
I have played around with downloading and experimenting with different software (CDAT, HDFview, Hdf-EOS to GIS conversion, and HDFLook (which I can’t even get to work)) with no luck yet. Thanks so much for your time and let me know if MapServer does this sort of task.<BR>
