[R-sig-Geo] Problem reading a HDF5 file with readGDAL in Windows

[Robert J. Hijmans]

In which case you can change the extension to '.nc' and do

library(raster)
library(ncdf4)
x <- raster("E:/downloads/OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongCloudSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.nc",
var='Data Fields/ChiSquaredOfFit')
