Hey Stefan,

You indeed need to use MRT Swath (or one of the alternatives i mentioned to
Laura, but i would start with MRT Swath), which also means you need the
appropriate MOD03 file for the geolocation arrays. Looking at the meta data
is should be this one:
MOD03.A2013112.1055.005.2013112115237.NRT.hdf

The information is encoded using bitflags. So some post processing is needed
after extracting the bands. A lot of Remote Sensing software can do such
'bitwise' operations, but any programming language as well, so reading the
data with GDAL in for example Python would also work.


Regards,
Rutger
