The SORCE total solar irradiance data are written in ASCII format.
The SORCE solar spectral irradiance data are written using the HDF5
file format. The HDF Group, developers of HDF5, have created several free tools
for accessing files written in HDF5. They are not meant as data
analysis tools for SORCE data, rather they are simple tools for
dumping or browsing generic data. They are available pre-compiled for
most major operating systems.
IDL programs:
- read_sorce_level3_tsi.pro
- An IDL program developed by the SORCE instrument team for accessing level 3 TSI data files.
- read_sorce_level3_ssi_hdf.pro
- An IDL program developed by the SORCE instrument team for accessing level 3 SSI data files.
-
- h5_browser
- Built in IDL function for interactively viewing and accessing HDF5 data files.
- h5_parse
- Built in IDL function for reading HDF5 data files.
Command Line utilities:
- HDFView
- A Java-based tool for browsing and editing HDF5 and HDF4 files.
- h5dump
- Enables the user to examine the contents of an HDF5 file and dump those contents to an ASCII file.
- h5ls
- Lists selected information about file objects in the specified format.
- h5repack
- Tool for internally compressing HDF5 data arrays using GZIP or SZIP.
- h4toh5
- Convert any HDF4 file to HDF5, using default mappings.
- h5toh4
- Converts an HDF5 file into an HDF4 file (not necessarily an inverse
of h4toh5).
Other tools that can access HDF5 data files include both freeware and
commercial software packages. They are listed on the NCSA's
"Software using HDF5"
web page.
