Many essential climate and satellite datasets created by the likes of NASA, NOAA, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the European Space Agency (ESA) are stored and distributed in one of these formats. They contain records of everything from global temperatures to land cover to ocean salinity. Unfortunately, many people who’d be interested in using these data don’t even know they exist…”<br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/GIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GIS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/spatial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spatial</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/mapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mapping</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/remotesensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>remotesensing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/earth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earth</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/global" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>global</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/gdal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gdal</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/opendata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opendata</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/tutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tutorial</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/onlinelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onlinelearning</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/scientificdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scientificdata</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HDF</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NetCDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NetCDF</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/GRIB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GRIB</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NASA</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NOAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NOAA</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WMO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WMO</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ESA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ESA</span></a></p>
