how to plot AOD and extinction coefficient profiles from Lidar level 2

Dear all;
If anyone help to plot AOD and extinction coefficient profiles using a subset hdf file for a location (lat=32°; lon=5°).
The subset hdf file is for the 08 March 2007 ( CAL_LID_L2_05kmAPro-Standard-V4-20.2007-03-08T12-35-00ZD_Subset.hdf).
This the link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BMSt1bcELc9IEPB8PstkrBjIjITOmcVm/view?usp=sharing

Hello,

Sincere apologies for the delay.

HDF-EOS offers code examples to visualize data for NASA HDF/HDF-EOS files from programming languages such as Python, NCL, MATLAB and IDL.

Also, a great way to view HDF files is using the applications such as Panoply or HDFView. More information is provided by the links below.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,
