gdal_translate -of ENVI /path/NEON_xxxxx_reflectance.h5 -sds /path/NEON_xxxxx_reflectance_e

  1. Output file will have dimensions 1000 rows x 1000 cols x 426 bands, with BSQ interleave

  2. Map info will be UTM, Zone dependent on site, upper left corner with Northing and Easting in filename, pixel size 1 m
