Like all MODIS products, MOD07 is in HDF-EOS format, which is built on
top of HDF. IDL provides wrappers for all of the HDF and HDF-EOS
library functions, and you should be using those routines to read this
file. It's format is laid out at <http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/
MOD07_L2/format.html>. You'll see that it's far more complicated than
just a simple multi-dmensional array of a single data type.
