Introduction
This documentation explains how to use Format Conversion Tool.
Format Conversion Tool is used to convert Binary Format data such as HDF5/HDF4 to GeoTIFF format
data and KMZ format data.
HDF Format is used for many JAXA’s satellite products such as GPM, GCOM-W, JASMES.
HDF format is also used for satellite data. Because multidimensional arrays and database-like tables can
be nested in HDF file. It is useful to handle data.
However, it is needed to install some softwares or libraries for reading HDF product, so it is too hard for
the general user to use HDF product (Fig1).

User get to use GPM products in GeoTIFF or KMZ to view, edit or analyze the GIS information by using
GIS software such as ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth and Image Viewers. If user use Format Conversion tool,
GPM Data will be used more fields (Fig2).
