I succeed running gdalwarp in level 1 MODIS data. The data in : https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjXAWS5maHffhxx_Pf2j2snnXocs?e=ceHHcd

When I run gdalinfo, the partial information is like this :

I want to extract band 3 until band 7 "1KM Reflectance 500M Aggr". I am not sure where I find these band. From ENVI Classic, I can find these band. But from gdalinfo, I just guess the subdataset is "SUBDATASET_29_NAME=HDF4_SDS:UNKNOWN:"a1.20315.0552.1000m.hdf":9". Correct me if I am wrong. Then I run gdalwarp :

$ gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 HDF4_SDS:UNKNOWN:"a1.20315.0552.1000m.hdf":9 refl.tif

Creating output file that is 2968P x 3988L.
Processing input file HDF4_SDS:UNKNOWN:a1.20315.0552.1000m.hdf:9.
0...10...20..Warning 1: Metadata exceeding 32000 bytes cannot be written into GeoTIFF. Transferred to PAM instead.
.30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

I open the result in QGIS. The pixel value is not decimal (about ten thousand). The pixel value is different when I georeference using ENVI Classic. The pixel value is decimal. I think the correct value for reflectance is using ENVI Classic. So, do I skip the step using gdal?

  • My GDAL (version 3.3-dev) finds only 19 subdatasets from that hdf file.

  • Is MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_500_Aggr1km_RefSB perhaps the subdataset that you are interested in?

  • I am interested in band 3 until band 7 "1KM Reflectance 500M Aggr". When open in ENVI classic, it is show these band

Finally I get the answer. With gdalinfo, I know that the file need to multiply with reflectance scale. The partial information from gdalinfo is here :

$ gdalinfo refl.tif

reflectance_offsets=-0, -0, -0, -0, -0
reflectance_scales=4.494304449e-05, 3.147337338e-05, 3.348880273e-05, 3.483542241e-05, 2.825953925e-05
reflectance_units=none

When I compare, the result is not far from ENVI Classic.
