Hi all,

I am trying to convert modis level 1B data (type SWATH) to geotiff following these steps.

1) Examining the HDF
gdalinfo d:\modis\1b\MOD021KM.A2011008.0850.005.2011008195744.hdf
gdalinfo HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"d:\modis\1b\MOD021KM.A2011008.0850.005.2011008195744.hdf":MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_1KM_RefSB
2) Extracting the 1. band of the subdataset MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_1KM_RefSB
gdal_translate -of GTiff -b 1 HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"d:\modis\1b\MOD021KM.A2011008.0850.005.2011008195744.hdf":MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_1KM_RefSB d:\modis\1b\band_1.tiff
4) Warping the image to WGS84
gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 d:\modis\1b\band_1.tiff d:\modis\1b\band_1_warp.tiff

The example dataset, which i am using, can be downloaded here
ftp://ladsftp.nascom.nasa.gov/allData/5/MOD021KM/2011/008//MOD021KM.A2011008.0850.005.2011008195744.hdf

And now to my problem: I get always an certain shift (http://www.flickr.com/photos/54033867@N00/5363471425/in/photostream/), which is avoided if i am using the "Georeference MODIS" option in ENVI (http://www.flickr.com/photos/54033867@N00/5364083966/in/photostream/).
I also tried a few workarounds, f.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.gdal.devel/10482, but nothing worked properly.
As far as I understand gdal supports Modis L1B SWATH, so what I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Regards Anna

P.S. I am using FWTools 2.4.7 on Windows
