[gdal-dev] Which is the way to handle altitude layers within one file?

[Brian Case]

Andreas,

you can use gdal to read grib, hdf, and netcdf files built this way.
take a look at the format pages for those formats.
http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html

note: gdal requires all the "bands" or subdatasets to be the same size

if you find yourself needing to put multiple files together use
gdalbuildvrt -separate then gdal_translate
