This can all be done (for free) in R (www.r-project.org) using the sp package and the rgdal package. The sp library can write ascii grids using the write.asciigrid command or you can output binary data that can be directly read by ArcGIS.
I suggest posting a question to the R-Sig-Geo listserv _after_ reading the posting guide. Somebody on the list can give you more detailed help. https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html Good luck! -Andy -----Original Message----- From: Ecological Society of America: grants, jobs, news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yolandi de Beer Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 7:07 AM To: ECOLOG-L@LISTSERV.UMD.EDU Subject: TRMM Rainfall data Hi ecologgers, I am desperately looking for a way to convert TRMM rainfall data from hdf format to GIS compatible format. Apparently it should be converted to ascii first in order to import the data into ArcGIS. If anybody can give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
