Hi, I'm working on some prototype software for atmospheric remote sensing using a satellite instrument. The file formats involved in this system are HDF-5 and possibly NetCDF-4. The input spectra are likely to be stored in HDF-5, the output retrievals will use HDF-5 as well, with two metadata conventions, see the list at the end. One of these (CF) rather explicitly says NetCDF. As a bit of background, HDF is commonly used by groups doing observations, while NetCDF is used by modelers. We'd like to make it easy for modelers to use our observations.
Long story short: Is it possible to produce a file with PyTables that can be read with the NetCDF-4 library? After all, NetCDF-4 is now based on HDF-5 (but adds other metadata). How should I approach that? And while we determined that the two metadata standards do not bite each other, where should I start with this task? Needless to say I'd like to stick with pytables.
