# HDF-EOS Tools and Information Center

> This website is the primary source of information for the
Hierarchical Data Format - Earth Observing System (HDF-EOS).
HDF-EOS is a self-describing file format based on HDF for storing data
from NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites.
This site provides access to software, tools, documentation, and
other resources for working with HDF-EOS data.
