Ugh, and you must think I'm crazy given that it's clearly HDF5 not HDF4 as
per my opening line (the file naming is more the latter). I'll stop now.
Hope it's useful.
Cheers, Mike.

Ah thanks, and sorry I didn't think any of those old HDF4 files were still
there!
This is HDF5 with subdatasets, from gdalinfo:
Subdatasets:
SUBDATASET_1_NAME=HDF5:"Q20151522015181.L3m_MO_SCISM_V5.0_SSS_1deg"://l3m_data
SUBDATASET_1_DESC=[180x360] //l3m_data (32-bit floating-point)
SUBDATASET
Thanks Ben and Michael for the attention
The file I'm trying to rasterize can be downloaded at
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/l3
I selected the Aquarius sea surface salinity smoothed file from June 2015
(SMI HDF).
As Ben pointed it is also available from OBPG Nasa Ocean Color site at
https
Hi,
Those Aquarius files look quite different from others I have used from OBPG
(mostly MODISA and SeaWiFS).
As a short-cut alternative, you could read all of the values into a matrix and
make a global raster from that. An example is shown below. You can also
subset the extraction as you ha
That file name does not correspond to the standard patterns used by the
oceancolor site. All the L3m products from there are now (NetCDF 4.0) .nc
and so will work fine with raster/ncdf4. (Some years ago they were HDF4 -
without an extension, as the shortcuts in the image thumbnails hints
(SMI/HDF
