This tutorial illustrates how to use the HDF5 tools to examine NPP files from the JPSS project. The following files are discussed:
\code
SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5 (<a href="https://\AEXURL/files/tutorial/SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5.gz">gzipped file</a>)

\section secViewToolsJPSSDeter Determining File Contents
The first thing you may want to do is determine what is in your file. You can use the command-line tools or HDFView to do this:
\li @ref subsecViewToolsJPSSDeter_h5dump
\li @ref subsecViewToolsJPSSDeter_h5ls
\li @ref subsecViewToolsJPSSDeter_HDFView

JPSS NPP files all contain two root level groups:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Group</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>/All_Data
</td>
<td>Contains the raw data and optional geo-location information.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>/Data_Products
</td>
<td>Contains a dataset ending in <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Aggr</code> with
references to objects in the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">/All_Data</code> group.
Contains granules (datasets with a name ending in <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Gran_#</code>)
with references to selected regions in datasets under <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">/All_Data</code>.
</td>
</tr>
</table>

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSDeter_h5dump h5dump
With <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">\ref sec_cltools_h5dump</code> you can see a list of the objects
in the file using the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-n</code> option:
\code
h5dump -n <file>
\endcode

For example:
\code
$ h5dump -n SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5

 dataset    /Data_Products/VIIRS-M9-SDR/VIIRS-M9-SDR_Gran_3
 }
}
\endcode

In the output above you can see that there are four granules (ending in
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Gran_#</code>) in the
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">/Data_Products/VIIRS-M9-SDR/</code> group.

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSDeter_h5ls h5ls
With <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">\ref sec_cltools_h5ls</code> you can see a list of the objects in the
file using the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-lr</code>
options. The <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">\ref sec_cltools_h5ls</code> utility also shows shape and size
(dataspace) information about datasets.
\code
h5ls -lr <file>
\endcode

For example:
\code
$ h5ls -lr SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5

/Data_Products/VIIRS-M9-SDR/VIIRS-M9-SDR_Gran_3 Dataset {16/Inf}
\endcode
Note that the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Inf</code> indicates that those datasets are appendable or unlimited in size.

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSDeter_HDFView HDFView
If you open the file in HDFView, it will display the file and the root level groups within
it in the TreeView on the left. An HDF5 file is a folder with a "5" in the middle, followed
by the file name. There are two folders (groups) within the JPSS file
(<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">All_Data/</code> and <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Data Products/</code>),
which you can select to see their contents:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
\image html hdfview-tree.png 
</td>
</tr>
</table>

If you click twice with the left-mouse button on a folder or group in the TreeView, the contents
of the folder will be listed. If you click twice on an object such as a dataset, a window with
the object's values will be displayed.

Underneath the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">VIIRS-M1-SDR</code> folder are what HDF5
calls datasets. The scarlet letter <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">"A"</code> attached
to the group and datasets under <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Data_Products/</code>
indicates that there are attributes associated with them.

\section secViewToolsJPSSView Viewing the User Block
All JPSS files contain a user block in XML with information about the file. The user block is an
optional space allocated at the beginning of an HDF5 file that is not interpreted by the HDF5
library. Its size is a multiple of 512.

Since the user block in JPSS files is stored in ASCII and it is stored at the beginning of an
HDF5 file, you could use a text editor or viewer to examine it. However, there are HDF5 utilities
that can help with this:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Utility</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>@ref sec_cltools_h5unjam
</td>
<td>Extracts a user block from an HDF5 file
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>@ref sec_cltools_h5dump
</td>
<td>The -B (--superblock) option displays the size of the user block in an HDF5 file
</td>
</tr>
</table>

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSView_h5unjam h5unjam
The \ref secViewToolsEditAdd tutorial topic discusses the use of the
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">\ref sec_cltools_h5jam</code> and <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">\ref sec_cltools_h5unjam</code>
utilities for adding or removing a user block from a file. An input HDF5 file
(<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-i</code>), output HDF5 file
(<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-o</code>), and user block text file
(<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-u</code>) can be specified with these tools. You can use the
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">h5unjam</code> tool to extract and view the user block in a JPSS file:
\code
h5unjam -i <Input HDF5 File> -o <Output HDF5 File> -u <User Block File>
\endcode

For example this command will extract the user block into the file UB.xml:
\code
$ h5unjam -i SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5 
          -o svm09-noUB.h5 -u UB.xml
\endcode

The input HDF5 file remains unchanged. The output HDF5 file will not contain the user block.
The <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">UB.xml</code> file contains the user block
which can be viewed with a browser.

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSView_h5dump h5dump
The \ref sec_cltools_h5dump utility has the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-B (--superblock)</code> option for displaying the superblock in an HDF5 file.
The superblock contains information about the file such as the file signature, file consistency flags,
the number of bytes to store addresses and size of an object, as well as the size of the user block:
\code
h5dump -B (--superblock)
\endcode

Below is an example (Unix):
\code
$ h5dump -B -H SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5 | more
HDF5 "SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5" {
SUPER_BLOCK {
   SUPERBLOCK_VERSION 0
   FREELIST_VERSION 0
   SYMBOLTABLE_VERSION 0
   OBJECTHEADER_VERSION 0
   OFFSET_SIZE 8
   LENGTH_SIZE 8
   BTREE_RANK 16
   BTREE_LEAF 4
   ISTORE_K 32
   USER_BLOCK {
      USERBLOCK_SIZE 1024
   }
}
\endcode

Once you have the size of the user block, you can extract it from the file using system commands.
For example, on Unix platforms you can use the head command-line tool:
\code
head -c <USERBLOCK_SIZE> <JPSS File> >& USERBLOCK.xml
\endcode

There are Unix tools for Windows that may work, such as <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm">CoreUtils for Windows</a>.

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSExam_h5dump h5dump
There are several options that you may first want to use when examining a granule with \ref sec_cltools_h5dump
<table>
<tr>
<th>Option</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-H, --header
</td>
<td>Prints header (metadata) information only
</td>

</td>
<td>Suppresses attributes

</tr>
<tr>
<td>-p, --properties

</td>
</tr>
</table>

You would specify the dataset (<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-d D</code>) and the
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-H</code> options to view the metadata associated with
a specific granule. There are many attributes associated with a granule and
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-A 0</code> can be used to suppress those.

For example:
\code
h5dump -H -A 0 -d "/Data_Products/VIIRS-M9-SDR/VIIRS-M9-SDR_Gran_0" 
        SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5
\endcode

This command displays:
\code
   HDF5 "SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5" {

      DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 16 ) / ( H5S_UNLIMITED ) }
   }
   }
\endcode

To see the actual contents of the granule remove the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-H</code> option:
\code
h5dump -A 0 -d "/Data_Products/VIIRS-M9-SDR/VIIRS-M9-SDR_Gran_0" 
       SVM09_npp_d20120229_t0849107_e0854511_b01759_c20120229145452682127_noaa_ops.h5

      DATASET /All_Data/VIIRS-M9-SDR_All/ReflectanceFactors {(0)-(1)}
   }
}
}
\endcode

As you can see in the output above, the datatype for this dataset is:
\code
DATATYPE  H5T_REFERENCE { H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG }
\endcode

This indicates that it is a dataset specifically for storing references to regions (or subsets)
in other datasets. The dataset contains 16 such references, and more can be added to it, as
indicated by the dataspace (in other words it is unlimited):
\code
DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 16 ) / ( H5S_UNLIMITED ) }
\endcode

\subsubsection subsubsecViewToolsJPSSExam_h5dumpRegRef Viewing a Region Reference
What if we wanted to look at the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">NumberOfScans</code> data for a specific granule in a file?

First, we may be interested in determining whether the scans were done at night or in the day. If a scan was at night, there will be no data.

The attribute <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">N_Day_Night_Flag</code> is used to determine when the scan was done. If you don't know where this attribute is located, you can use the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-N</code> option to search for it in the file. If you were to run this command on the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">SVM09</code> file used above, you would see that the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">N_Day_Night_Flag</code> attribute has a value of <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">Night</code> for the four granules in the file. Indeed, if you actually examine the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">NumberOfScans</code> data, you will see that only fill values are written.

For that reason we will examine the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">NumberOfScans</code> data for the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">SVMO1</code> file below, as it was obtained during the day:
\code
h5dump -N N_Day_Night_Flag SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5
\endcode

It displays:
\code
HDF5 "SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5" {

\endcode

In the output above, you can see that the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">NumberOfScans</code>
reference is the sixth reference in the granule counting from the top.

The list of references shown above is a 0-based index to the dataset. Therefore, to specify
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">NumberOfScans</code>, enter a start offset of
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">5</code> for the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-s</code>
option (the sixth reference minus 1). To see the region reference data, use the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-R</code> option.

This command will display the data in the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">NumberOfScans</code> region reference:
\code
h5dump -A 0 -d "/Data_Products/VIIRS-M1-SDR/VIIRS-M1-SDR_Gran_0" -s 5 -R

\endcode

It displays the number of scans (48):

\endcode

The <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-s</code> option may be familiar as one of the options
that was described in the \ref secViewToolsViewSub tutorial topic. The other subsetting options are not included,
indicating that the default values are used.

If you leave off the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-R</code> option, you will see the subset selection, but not the data:

\subsubsection subsubsecViewToolsJPSSExam_h5dumpQuality Viewing a Quality Flag
The quality flags in an NPP file can be viewed with \ref sec_cltools_h5dump using the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-M</code>
option. Quality flags are packed into each integer value in a quality flag dataset. Quality flag datasets in NPP
files begin with the letters <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">QF</code>.

In the following NPP file, there are five Quality Flag datasets
(<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/QF*</code>):
\code
$ h5dump -n SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5

 }
}
\endcode

The flags in this particular dataset happen to be stored in every two bits of each quality flag dataset
element, and the values range from 0 to 2. In other words, to see the quality flag values for this
dataset, these bits would be examined: 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, or 6 and 7 (This information was
obtained from the Product Profile XML File.)

For example, bits 0 and 1 in the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">VQF1_VIIRSMBANDSDR</code> dataset specify the flag that
"Indicates calibration quality due to bad space view offsets, OBC view offsets, etc or use of a
previous calibration view". It has 3 values: Good (0), Poor (1), or No Calibration (2).

The <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-M</code> option is used to specify the quality
flag bit offset (<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">O</code>) and length (<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">L</code>):
\code
h5dump -d DATASET -M O,L FILE
\endcode

To view the first quality flag (0-1) in a 5 x 6 subset of the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">QF1_VIIRSMBANDSDR</code> dataset, specify:
\code
h5dump -d "/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/QF1_VIIRSMBANDSDR[0,0;;5,6;]" 
       -M 0,2 SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5
\endcode

This outputs:
\code
HDF5 "SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5" {

      DATA {
      (0,0): 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,
      (1,0): 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,
      (2,0): 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

      (4,0): 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
      }
   }
}
}
\endcode

To view more than one quality flag at a time simply add the bit offset and length values to
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-M</code>, separated by commas. For example, this
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-M</code> option specifies bits 0-1 and 2-3:
\code
h5dump -d DATASET -M 0,2,2,2 FILE
\endcode

\subsubsection subsubsecViewToolsJPSSExam_h5dumpProps Properties
To view properties of a specific dataset with <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">\ref sec_cltools_h5dump</code>
use the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-p</code> option along with the
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-d</code> option. Depending on the number of attributes
and the amount of data, the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-A 0</code> and
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-H</code> options can also be specified to suppress
printing of attributes and data values:
\code
h5dump -p -H -A 0 -d DATASET
\endcode

The <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">-p</code> option shows any compression filters
associated with a dataset, as well as layout and fill value information. This option can be helpful
in diagnosing performance and other issues.

As an example, examine the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/Radiance</code>
dataset in the <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">SVM01</code> file:
\code
$ h5dump -p -H -A 0 -d "/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/Radiance" 
   SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5
HDF5 "SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5" {
DATASET "/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/Radiance" {
   DATATYPE  H5T_STD_U16BE
   DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 768, 3200 ) / ( H5S_UNLIMITED, H5S_UNLIMITED ) }
   STORAGE_LAYOUT {
      CHUNKED ( 768, 3200 )
      SIZE 4915200
   }
   FILTERS {
      NONE
   }
   FILLVALUE {
      FILL_TIME H5D_FILL_TIME_IFSET
      VALUE  65529
   }
   ALLOCATION_TIME {
      H5D_ALLOC_TIME_INCR
   }
}
}
\endcode

We can see that the chunk size for this dataset is 768 x 3200, and the storage size is 4915200.

What if the chunk size were smaller?

The dataset was modified to have a chunk size of 1 x 10, using the
<code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">h5repack</code> utility, as shown below.
\code
$ h5repack -l /All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/Radiance:CHUNK=1x10 
   SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5 SVM01repack.h5

$ h5dump -p -H -A 0 -d "/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/Radiance" SVM01repack.h5
HDF5 "SVM01repack.h5" {
DATASET "/All_Data/VIIRS-M1-SDR_All/Radiance" {
   DATATYPE  H5T_STD_U16BE
   DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 768, 3200 ) / ( H5S_UNLIMITED, H5S_UNLIMITED ) }
   STORAGE_LAYOUT {
      CHUNKED ( 1, 10 )
      SIZE 4915200
   }
   FILTERS {
      NONE
   }
   FILLVALUE {
      FILL_TIME H5D_FILL_TIME_IFSET
      VALUE  65529
   }
   ALLOCATION_TIME {
      H5D_ALLOC_TIME_INCR
   }
}
}
\endcode

In this case, the storage size of the dataset is the same, but the size of the file almost doubled!:
\code
$ ls -1sh
total 35M
12M SVM01_npp_d20130524_t1255132_e1256374_b08146_c20130524192048864992_noaa_ops.h5
23M SVM01repack.h5
\endcode

In general, the smaller the chunk size, the more chunks that HDF5 has to keep track of, which increases
the size of the file and can affect performance.

\subsection subsecViewToolsJPSSExamr_HDFView HDFView
As mentioned previously, the structure of an HDF5 file is displayed in the TreeView on the left side of the HDFView screen,
and you can click on objects and have metadata information displayed on the right side.

To discover more about the granule <code style="background-color:whitesmoke;">/Data_Products/VIIRS-M1-SDR/VIIRS-M1-SDR_Gran_0</code>
