My MODIS workflow usually involves using the "Modis Reprojection Tool" software to extract bands of interest and re-project them in the projection / coordinate system of choice, saving each band as a geotiff file:

For extended functionality, there is also the set of LDOPE tools, which can perform the same functions of MRT and others (like reading QC flags, etc.). But these are all command-line only:

MRT also offers command line functionality, meaning you can usually batch operations if you know how to write DOS batch files (and if you don't, it is very simple to learn, just search for tutorials in the web).

But I found the HDF-EOS to GIS (HEG) tool to be very useful for converting MODIS data to GeoTIFFs. http://newsroom.gsfc.nasa.gov/sdptoolkit/HEG/HEGDownload.html Phil

If anybody has any scripts (excepting those in ESRI script library) to
import/manipulate/analyze MODIS granules we would appreciate knowing about
them.
Thanks

Phil
