Hi Chris,
Strange. We use that chomp.py script and ncdump can read those files then
just fine. Beyond that we've been using netCDF with Python. Data's coming
in from LDM/NOAAPort same as yours. We haven't tried merging the data
together to create true color imagery yet, but all three of those bands
have been working for us.
Maybe open up one of those tiles in notepad++, vim or what have you, and
double-check those headers are getting stripped out. If memory serves,
they worked out to be the first two or three lines up to the binary data
and you can just delete those manually if they're in there to confirm. But
if any part of those headers are left in there, I don't believe any netCDF
tool will recognize them.
