Hello,

Here is a sample of how to simply open CALIPSO file in HDF using MATLAB:

Code: Select all

%Tested with MATLAB R2021a

import matlab.io.hdf4.*

% Open the HDF4 File.
FILE_NAME = 'CAL_LID_L2_VFM-ValStage1-V3-41.2021-11-29T23-32-39ZD.hdf';
SD_id = sd.start(FILE_NAME, 'rdonly');
If you would like to read and plot CALIPSO data, examples can be found on HDF-EOS website:

Hope this helps, please let us know if you have anymore questions.
