Hello,

Can i use nagg for de-aggregating viirs-RDR (Raw Data Record) *.h5 file?

What utility can i use for this processing except nagg?

Hello zion0210,

As one of the nagg developers I can answer your first question. The nagg tool 
was developed for NPP SDR and EDR products, and will also process a number of 
IP products that have the same internal structure as the SDR and EDR products.  
Unfortunately while the internal group structure of the RDR products is 
similar, the RDR layout and the granule data structures are quite different 
from those of the SDR, EDR and IP products, and nagg is not at all capable of 
processing the RDRs.

I can't answer your second question, as I am not familiar with a tool that will 
de-aggregate granules in VIIRS-RDR*.h5 files.  One fundamental difference from 
the SDR/EDR/IP files that nagg does process is that the VIIRS-RDR files contain 
related granules of different durations, whereas all granules in an SDR/EDR/IP 
file containing compatible products share a common, relatively precise 
duration.  The JPSS Common Data Format Control Book - External (CDFCB-X) Volume 
II -RDR Formats states on page 1: "A science RDR data product generally 
contains all the necessary APs to construct a Science Data Record (SDR)."  
De-aggregating the granules in an RDR file seems theoretically possible, but 
would probably require much more complex processing than is required for nagg 
to de-aggregate the SDR/EDR/IP product files.

Perhaps someone else knows of such a tool.  If not I will ask some of the nagg 
users whether any such tool is available.
