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.

At the very least, you also need to know the file's interleave, so
that you can make sure you are reading the data into memory in the
correct order.

I think the problem might have occurred earlier, when you
assumed satellite data would be packaged in a form that is
easily digested by IDL.

My suggestion would be to get onto a MODIS web page and
spend a few minutes reading about their data products.
Who knows what useful information might turn up!

Cheers,

David
