The Data Pool HDFEOS-to-GeoTiff (HEG) Tool

The Data Pool HDFEOS-to-GeoTiff (HEG) tool provides the ability to reformat, reproject, or spatially subset data available via the LP DAAC Data Pool. The Data Pool HEG services are completed prior to product distribution, and may be applied only to products in the Data Pool.
