Scientific Data in ArcGIS - Vision Analyzing Multidimensional Scientific Data in ArcGIS
Reading netCDF data in ArcGIS • NetCDF data is accessed as • Raster • Feature • Table • Direct read • Exports GIS data to netCDF Analyzing Multidimensional Scientific Data in ArcGIS
Ingesting Scientific data in ArcGIS • Directly reads netCDF file using • Make NetCDF Raster Layer • Make NetCDF Feature Layer • Make NetCDF Table View • Directly reads HDF and GRIB data as raster Analyzing Multidimensional Scientific Data in ArcGIS
CF Convention • Climate and Forecast (CF) Convention • http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ • Initially developed for • Climate and forecast data • Atmosphere, surface and ocean model-generated data • Also for observational datasets • CF is now the most widely used conventions for geospatial netCDF data. It has the best coordinate system handling. • Current version 1.6 • You can use Compliance checker utility to check a netCDF file. • http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/compliance-checker/ Analyzing Multidimensional Scientific Data in ArcGIS
NetCDF and Coordinate Systems • Geographic Coordinate Systems (GCS) • X dimension units: degrees_east • Y dimension units: degrees_north • Projected Coordinate Systems (PCS) • X dimension standard_name: projection_x_coordinate • Y dimension standard_name: projection_y_coordinate • Variable has a grid_mapping attribute. • CF 1.6 conventions currently supports thirteen predefined coordinate systems (Appendix F: Grid Mappings) • Undefined • If not GCS or PCS • ArcGIS writes (and recognizes) PE String as a variable attribute.
