To read the data we suggest using the HDFView read software

You may use the NASA Giovanni system, https://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/, for many variables related to air quality, and use the system to specify your region of interest and time period of interest. Please utilize our Help documentation to assist you in getting started, and you may reply here for specific guidance.
