• Support for Albers Conical Equal Area Projection.

• Support for AMSR-E L3 GRID products in Polar Stereographic and EASE-Grid projections.

1. Support for all AMSR-E L2 SWATH products and AMSR-E L3 GRID (in Geographic projection).
   
   
2. Correction for ASTER DEM products. Presently, the sides of the output GeoTIFF image are cut off due to missing data in the internal geolocation fields of the ASTER DEMs. Since the geolocations are in a path-oriented UTM GRID (even though it's a SWATH product), the missing geolocations could then be accurately interpolated.
   
   
3. New "Subsetter" functionality for Parameters (aka Fields). This results in:
   1. Output to HDF-EOS SWATH from input HDF-EOS SWATH (i.e. for ASTER SWATH, MODIS SWATH). This allows for output data which is unaltered from a projection operation - for input of HDF-EOS SWATH data.
   2. Output to HDF-EOS GRID from input HDF-EOS GRID without any projection operation or altering of input data
   
   "Subsetter" functionality allows for the creation of smaller data sets from large input HDF-EOS SWATH or GRID data sets. (Many HDF-EOS data granules are quite large.) This is done by selecting a smaller selection of Fields from the full list available in the input. A NO_REPROJECTION option is performed so that output data values are unaltered from the input.
   
   "Subsetter" functionality can also be used in combination with reprojection, spatial subsetting, pixel size manipulation, etc.
   
   
4. Output of Multi-Band HDFEOS data sets (multiple bands in one output HDF-EOS file; previously, HEG only outputs one band/field per HDF-EOS output file). Multiple bands are placed in one Object in the HDF-EOS data set.
   
   
5. Support of HDF-EOS data which has slight (but important) descrepancies in the HDF-EOS standard:
   
   
   • Support for MOD43C1, MOD43C2, MOD43C3, MCD43C1, MCD43C2, MCD43C3, MOD12C1, MYD12C1, These data sets incorrectly define the corner points of the GRID in DD instead of DMS units. HDF-EOS readers will not be able to read these data unless they make modifications for this non-standard compliance
   • Support of MOD11_L2. These data use incorrect fillvalues in the Lat/Lon geolocations. The data incorrectly uses -999.0 when the internal metadata specifies that fillvalues are -999.9.
     
     
6. Support for AIRS L3 products (in Geographic projection).
   
   
7. Support for MISR L3 products (in Geographic projection).
   
   

• N/A.

• Support of AIRS Level 2 Vis/NIR-Radiance product.
• Support for AURA data
• Feature to help work with bit fields in the MOD35_L2 Cloud Product.
• MultiBandGeoTIFF for STITCH/MOSAIC output.
• "No Resample" type option (don't do interpolation such as Nearest Neighbor; only bin data into cells)
