Using the readBin Function, I tried to open .bin files obtained from National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

However I didn't understand how to get the data from .bin files.

.bin file information :

The file format consists of a 300-byte descriptive header followed by a two-dimensional array of one-byte values containing the data. The file header is composed of:

• a 21-element array of 6-byte character strings that contain information such as polar stereographic grid characteristics

• a 24-byte character string containing the file name

• a 80-character string containing an optional image title

• a 70-byte character string containing ancillary information such as data origin, data set creation date, etc

  • Far too little information. Which dataset? When I go to their website I see data in a wide variety of formats, but ... no .bin files. And ... what was teh code you used to "try"? – IRTFM Mar 31 '21 at 01:04
  • I fear readers may encounter difficulties with accessing data. I see this when trying to get one of their datasets: `An Earthdata Login account is required to access these data.` – IRTFM Mar 31 '21 at 01:09
