6.4. HDF5 Backend

The HDF5 backend creates HDF5 files with gridded products. By default it creates one HDF5 file with all products in the same file. Products are grouped together in HDF5 data groups for the grid that they are remapped to. Each grid data group has attributes describing the grid it represents. See the command line arguments for this backend for information on compressing the HDF5 files and providing longitude and latitude datasets in the files.
