hdf file naming convention

adg.yyyyddd.hdf.gz

adg = absorption due to detritus and gelbstoff material at 443 nm, NASA GIOP algorithm (units of 1 / m )
yyyy = year
ddd= day of year of the start of each monthly file
hdf = file type
gz = compressed with gzip (uncompress with gunzip)

The hdf files have metadata contained within them, which can be examined, for example, with program "ncdump".
